For a short while on Saturday March 13th there is going to be a second reason to go to Ukiah, Ca, besides the enlightening City of Ten Thousand Buddhas!! Native American Activist, Author and former College Professor Ward Churchill is going to be just one of many speakers attending the highly anticipated Cultural Genocide Conference which is being held at Mendocino College. Churchill is speaking in part to fund his continuing legal battles, and also to discuss the impacts of the Marine Life Protection Act which many North Coast tribes believe violates their tribal sovereignty. The Conference is scheduled to start at 9am.
Here's the report from Indybay

I would say this is pretty much a must-see for all of us here on the North Coast. Its rare that we even get a quality movie to play locally let alone get to see such an accomplished and outspoken political activist speaking directly about a local issue. Go! Go! Go!
