PREFACE
I. INTRODUCTION
MAP 1
BRCA, Inc. has worked
on the Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation
in the Arizona, New Mexico and Utah
portions of the Reservation. Specializing in sustainable
economic development beginning in 1979
through 1984, 1989 through 1997 and 2004 to the present BRCA, Inc. working with the Navajo
Tribal Government and other agencies and private members of the
Navajo/Dine' Tribe of Native
North American people. Refer
to the Resume of founding BRCA, Inc. Executive Director
George
W. Singleton for details.
The Spring and Summer of 2009
is the rescheduled beginning of the projected 12 month installation
and commencement of the "sustainable
economic development" operation of a
1 acre Pinon Pine Nut
Tree Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF) Garden on the Begaye
Land Trust in the Fort Defiance, AZ. area
of the Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation. By June, 2013 it
is targeted a Final Report will have been issued
by BRCA, Inc. documenting the significant ("200% increase in personal
annual income of participants) chronic poverty reduction will be submitted to the United
Nations in response to its "Johannesburg
Sustainable Economic Development 2002 Summit" call
for "measurable and replicatable" Poverty Reduction
demonstrations for verification and certification as such.
II. PROBLEM ANALYSIS
The Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation
is the size of West Virginia (15,000,000 acres), a large part
of which
is 6,000 feet above sea level in altitude; semi-arid and arid
desert encompassing parts of the USA states
of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Please
see MAP - 1.
The Navajo/Dine' Native American population is 250,000,
with a per capita income of $5,000, an unemployment rate of 70%
and a 50% English and Navajo/Dine' bilingual rate.
The Navajo "Reservation" is essentially an
internal American colony observed and documented by the
US Civil Rights Commission in its
report entitled the Navajo Nation: An
American Colony, September, 1975. Thus the Navajo/Dine'
Indian Nation is struggling to be a "Nation" against
energy multinational corporations and their environmental pollution.
Navajo land is rich in coal, oil and natural gas and uranium
representing 75% of America's energy resources.
Thus the Navajo/Dine' Indian
Nation is predictably struggling against genocidal levels
of poverty,
hunger, malnutrition and disease of which 90% are Nutritionally
Related Diseases and Syndromes.
There is a debilitating level of alcohol and drug addictions
and related family violence and dysfunction. Nevertheless, the
Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation
is the largest Native American Indian "Nation" in the
world in terms of land area and indigenous population.
Referring again to MAP
1 the Fort Defiance, Arizona area
of the Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation where the
1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Tree Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF)
Garden is to be located is rurally situated in
a unique micro-climate area in Northern Arizona near the New
Mexico Border about 50 miles north west of Gallup NM. It is situated
in a pristinely beautiful red-rock valley and is largely semi-arid.
Fort Defiance, Arizona is populated
by highly artistic, creative and self deterministic and aspiring
people with a strong Dine' language tradition use and
ethnic sense of family and community.
Fort Defiance, Arizona has long
suffered from a chronic economic mini-depression sustained by
the proximity of the Navajo-Hopi Joint
Use Area and the Bennett Freeze
on economic and community development under the US. Bureau
of Indian Affairs (BIA).
Predictably, the Fort Defiance, Arizona
community is riddled with households of poverty with their own
unique patterns of rural poverty ills, compounded with bilingual
obstacles in education and employment. The resulting "socio-political
economic blight" within this area of Navajo/Dine'
Indian Nation has produced rural households of poverty although
relatively small compared to the rest of Arizona which seems
intractable.
Paradoxically, although existing in a rural area an "environmental blight" exists
in the Fort Defiance, Arizona area
in the form of a critical interrelated shortage
of "green space infrastructure and horticultural enterprise";
i.e. sustainable
economic development opportunities where viable home
and organizational gardens, horticultural enterprises and thus
horticulturally related jobs and small businesses are in short
supply.
Note that land use is extremely lethargic
and dominated by sheep herding; resulting in a semi-arid and
desert ecological condition that is extremely top-soil eroded,
deforested defoliated and in some areas desertification has begun
over the past 100 years. Thus rural horticulture with
rural home, family and community gardens is all but non-existent
with small farms dominating and supported by cattle and
sheep herding.
Consequently, except for the wild craft
of harvesting native Pinon Pine Nuts in the fall, the
majority of plant derived food stuffs have to be imported from
outside the Fort Defiance, Arizona area and from outside the
surrounding contiguous Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation.

B.
POVERTY SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
BRCA, Inc. using a General
Human Systems Theory paradigm has developed a Poverty
Systems Analysis Flow Chart that in minute detail shows the
root causes and effects or symptoms of Chronic
Poverty and the significant job development
and employment barriers; i.e. the "root" underlying
causes and the socio-political economic blight and environmental
blight symptoms faced by the world's urban and rural
poor including America's Native American communities.
These Chronic Poverty associated
causes and symptomatic problems can be summarized as follows:
i.) Community crime and violence
---- caused by poor nutrition; low quality foods and liquids;
depravation of proper educational, creative, recreational and
cultural and entertainment resources and dysfunctional families
and social skills.
ii.) Community commercial blight
and unemployment ---- caused by adherence to a debt
producing, non-sustainable economic system; the myth of scarcity
and welfare mentality and absence of viable demonstrated alternatives
including what the United Nations Johannesburg
SA Sustainable Economic Development 2002 Summit significantly
has identified as the inalienable human right to sustainable
economic development opportunities __ see
UN JSED 2002 Summit 's Inalienable Human Rights Policy Statement.
iii.) Community environmental blight
and pollution ---- caused by intense energy resources
development and dependence on pastoral agricultural land use;
ignoring the needs for family and community gardens and greening
space for human physical and mental health resulting in agricultural
land degeneration, and industrial chemical pollution and degradation
of the ecosystem (climate, land, water, air and food).
NOTE: The 5 year drought that
hovers over the American South Western states of CA., AZ., and
NM. exacerbates any conventional Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation
horticultural development as the already depleted water reserves
of the dammed Colorado River forming the northern border of the
Navajo/Dine' Nation are sent via Lake Powell to South West USA
urban centers most notably Los Angeles, CA.
Please see MAP
1 and the National
Geographic Magazine coverage of the drought effect on Lake
Powell.
iv.) Individual depression, alcohol,
drug, and Nutritionally Related Diseases and Syndromes
(e.g. heart and circulatory conditions, various cancers, stroke,
obesity, liver and kidney diseases) ---- caused by improper diet;
low quality and polluted foods and water; improper recreational
and leisure activities; dysfunctional religious, spiritual and
cultural preparation; and improper sicknes prevention, career
and leisure time choices.
Consequently, the sustainable
economic development systemic innovations of this project
design reflect
its targeting the learning and motivational disabilities; stagnant
community organization development, business development and
job creation; poor work habits and job skills; transportation
difficulties;
family dysfunctions; child care needs, nutritionally associated
physical and mental health problems and alcohol, drug and tobacco
abuse and addiction problems of the targeted groups living in
poverty and their communities face as significant employment
barriers.
C.
STAGNANT JOB DEVELOPMENT & EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
In 1996 it is estimated that rural Fort Defiance, Arizona
had approximately 700 people on welfare including Aid For Families
with Dependent Children and had approximately 50 new jobs created.
Thus implementation of the "welfare reform" law officially
the Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
Act of 1996 theoretically with the prevailing economic growth
rate, assuming proper job training, related job preparedness
and job maintenance assistance would
take 700/50 or 14 years to properly implement this Act accomplish
in rural Fort Defiance, Arizona !!!!
This analysis is significantly longer than for intensely
urban areas based on the fact that:
o
In 1996 New York City had 750,000 welfare recipients, and produced
86,000 new jobs;
i.e. would take 9 years; and
o In 1996 Los Angeles County had 550,000 welfare recipients;
and
produced 55,000 new jobs; i.e. would take 10 years.
Note this does not accommodate the
additional people who will be added to the job force and welfare
rolls annually __ people unable to find appropriate jobs because
of improper education and training; and people unable to maintain
such a job because of personal problems such as drug abuse/addiction,
poor work habits and/or family dysfunctions. In 1996 America
produced 2,000,000 new jobs; and yet America had 1,700,000 welfare
recipients.
Consequently, there is a need to explore
new paradigms like sustainable
economic development in job training, job creation and
community development; ones that are innovatively "multi-disciplinarian",
cost efficient, cost effective and timely. Failure of the implementation
of welfare reform in Fort
Defiance, Arizona has since 1996 contributed to a higher rate
of area relocations to urban areas off the Reservation, increased
poverty, and spread of dysfunctional families and the expansion
of criminal behavior including "crack" and "rock"
cocaine and "meth" trafficking.
III. THE SOLUTION
1 Acre Pinon Pine Nut Tree SAF Garden
It is proposed that a 1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF) Garden
be established in
Fort Defiance, AZ. on land held in trust by the BRCA/Hope Navajo/Dine'
Indian Nation Project, Inc. Project Director Julie Gorman
Begaye as a family enterprise entry into the United
Nations "Johannesburg South Africa Sustainable Economic
Development 2002 Summit (JSED 2002 Summit)"
call for "measurable and replicatable" Poverty
Reduction Demonstrations.
Please study the details of the
12 element Sustainable Agro-Forestry (SAF) Model developed
by BRCA, Inc. over the last 30 years using experimental
anthropology partly derived from classical sustainable horticultural
technologies of Ancient Egypt/Kemit, Ancient Israel, Ancient
Mexico, Ancient Peru and Ancient North America.
PLEASE NOTE that one of the
most innovative features of this 1 acre
Pinon Pine Nut Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF) Garden's
Design is that after year #4 the BRCA/Hope Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation Project,
Inc.'s primary funder and employer on the Navajo/Dine'
Indian Nation will be itself; with self funded entry and
management positions in SAF beginning the third year as
the primary employment funded from Project Income.
Additionally, the SAF Project participants opting
to find employment elsewhere in the greening industry or to build
their own SAF Garden on land in their control will be
encouraged to do so with appropriate technical and financial
assistance.
The following horticultural based sustainable
economic development related employment, self-employment
and business development opportunities are possible:
* HOME AND BUSINESS LANDSCAPING &
GARDENING
* "CERTIFIED ORGANIC" PINION PINE TREE NUT,
WHOLESALE
DISTRIBUTION ENTERPRISES
*
OTHER "CERTIFIED ORGANIC" VEGETABLE, FRUIT, VEGETABLE,
SEED
AND HERB WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION ENTERPRISES
* FARMER'S MARKET RETAIL AND INTERNET PLANT PRODUCT
DISTRIBUTION ENTERPRISES
*
INTERNET PLANT PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION ENTERPRISES
* OTHER ADDED VALUE FOOD MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES
*
PAULOWNIA WOOD IS FIRE RETARDANT WITH A 750 F COMBUSTION
TEMPERATURE
COMPARED TO 250 F COMBUSTION TEMPERATURE
FOR PINE MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES, INCLUDING:
- LOG HOME KITS
- LOGS FOR LOG HOMES
- FURNITURE & HOME FURNISHINGS
-
GENERIC AND
-
FINE VENIER
- KITCHEN CABINETRY
- MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
- NON- STRUCTURAL HOME LUMBER PRODUCTS
- HOME ROOF SHINGLES AND SIDING - ESPECIALLY IN
THOSE FIRE STORM AREAS
- PAPER PULP
- SHIPPING AND STORAGE CONTAINER
- ARTS AND CRAFTS
* HYBRID POPLAR FIRE WOOD CULTIVATION, PROCESSING &
DISTRIBUTION
* HYBRID POPLAR WOOD PRODUCT MANUFACTURING
It is projected that at least six (6) of these spin-off sustainable economic development related
enterprises owned and operated by successful Navajo/Dine'
Project Participants will be established from year four through
year ten of this Project.
See
the complete 10 year Projected Financial Analysis of the 1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Tree SAF Garden.
The above
September, 2004 National Geographic Magazine page
31 photograph illustrates the effect
of the 5 year drought that hovers over the American South Western
states of CA., AZ., and NM. and exacerbates any conventional
Navajo/Dine' Nation horticultural development. In addition
to Global Warming effects the already depleted water reserves
of the dammed Colorado River which forms part
of the northern border of the Navajo/Dine' Nation are
sent via Lake Powell to Los Angeles, CA and other South West
USA urban centers. See MAP
1 for the location of this man made Lake Powell on the north
west side of the Navajo/Dine' Indian Nation.
To address the shortage of water scenario the proposed 1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Tree SAF Garden will
use a solar DC. pumped deep water well that will feed
a solar greenhouse covered pond with
suspended horticultural work floor over the pond. In addition,
the 12 element SAF Model,
specifically one of its 5 Key Elements
the Deep Planting Bed has natural
water conservation using only ½ the water
of conventional agricultural systems, derived from the use of
micro-climate tree shading, triangular companion planting and
the natural water storage of the deep bed. Please
read deep bed gardening specialist John Seymour's comments on
the Deep Planting Bed's benefits.
However, Please note that Wild Oats Natural Food Super
Market where the above product was
purchased also has an equivalent "Certified
Organic" Pinon Pine Nut of this same item in the
unpackaged bulk section also priced at $18/pound.
The Pinon Pine Tree grows naturally on the Navajo/Dine'
Indian Nation being an important part of the Navajo/Dine'
diet since they migrated there from Asia millenniums ago. Each
fall it is source of harvest income. The 1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF) Garden
Project Director Julie Gorman Begaye and her family derive significant
income from this activity selling directly to the public. However
much time is spent finding pine nut producing trees in the 5
year drought condition, and such Pine Nuts are not "certified
organic" selling for much less.
From the above 10
year Financial Analysis Summary the Pinon Pine Tree is the
core design element as cash food crop of the 1
acre Pinon Pine Nut Sustainable Agro-Forest (SAF) Garden
proposed as the BRCA, Inc. entry
into the United Nations "JSED 2002
Summit" call for measurable and replicatable Poverty
Reduction Demonstrations.
A study of this 10
year Financial Analysis Summary shows the Pinon Pine Nut
Cash Crop and the products of Vermiculture
__ intensive earthworm cultivation and production of humus
top soil __ another of the 5 Key
Elements are responsible for the awesome economic asset producing
power of the
1 acre Pinon Pine Nut SAF Garden's
10 year projected financial analysis.
