MT. MOOSILAUKE, N.H. - Native American leaders are speaking out more forcefully about the danger of climate change.

    Members of six tribes recently gathered near the Baker River in New Hampshire’s White Mountains for a sacred ceremony honoring "Earth Mother." Talking Hawk, a Mohawk Indian who asked to be identified by his Indian name, pointed to the river’s tea-colored water as proof that the overwhelming amount of pollution humans have produced has caused changes around the globe.

    "It’s August color. It’s not normal," he said.

    "Earth Mother is fighting back _ not only from the four winds but also from underneath," he said. "Scientists call it global warming. We call it Earth Mother getting angry."
