Leeds Flat, Michigan

Dickshovel.com carries an article by Debra Winchell, "Mohican Trampling by Wal-Mart", in which the fight was successful to keep Wal-Mart from building over a Leeds Flat burial site, "an important archaeological site on a floodplain along Catskill Creek called Leeds Flat, 30 miles south of Albany, New York." The site contains cultural artifacts and information invaluable to the Mohican Nation.

Little Cedar Mountain Project

Read about the Little Cedar Mountain Project at this Save Little Cedar Mountain! Defense Coalition Page. TVA Board of Directors meeting 21 april 1999: Information Items. 7. Approval to cease efforts to pursue the development of the Little Cedar Mountain project on Nickajack Lake and to cease consideration of a proposal by a private company to develop approximately 850 acres of TVA land on Tellico Reservoir.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) had planned on selling/leasing 660 acres of Little Cedar Mountain at Nickajack Dam in Marion County, Tennessee, to a large professional developer, Hines Interests, Limited Partnership. Fighting against this was the Sacred Little Cedar Mountain Defense Coalition (SLCMDC), composed of organizations and individuals who supported preservation of the Little Cedar Mountain TVA land and opposed any and all development on it. They organized rallies and meetings to preserve Little Cedar Mountain and offer those documents for review of the issue.
