The G-O Road, American Indian Religious
Freedom Act, and 1st Amendment Rights

This poster illustrates the Forest Services adamant behavior towards building the logging road (GO Road) through the High Country. Even though the US District Court ruled that it would damage the Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa's First Amendment rights. The Forest Service appealed at Supreme Court level where the rulings of the government/courts set up very disappointing decisions and findings for future Native American rights. As well as demonstrates a timelines of the judicial system injustices.

Since Native people are not legally allowed to hold title to their
traditional lands (according to the precedent set in Johnson v.
McIntosh) only Indian sacred sites are subject to wanton destruction at
the hands of federal agencies. The Lyng precedent endangers over 60
other Indigenous religious sites under the threat of development at the
hands of federal land management agencies.
