THE ISSUES

Banner of Newe Sogobia
Barb wire security?
Beautiful sky country
Confrontation at the entrance
Early morning walk to the NTS
Nearing the gate after the prayer circle
The sacred hoop
Sheriff and Wakenhuts on duty
Songs of protest at the line
Speaking out against misuse of the Earth

Walking towards the line at the NTS
