On January 20, 1999 representatives of the Colorado Tribes Came to Juarez Mexico to request assistance in stopping the construction of a nuclear dump site on sacred land. They came to Juarez because the people of the state of Juarez through active protest stopped a nuclear dump site from being placed in Sierra Blanca in Texas. They were met by not only local and federal politicians but by representatives of 5 Mexican Indigenous Tribes.

The activities opened with a rainbow over the statue of Benito Juarez in Juarez Park.
