To be delivered to: The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

support the creation of a "World Heritage" site for the Kalash people of N. Pakistan. 
The Kalash or Kalasha, are an ethnic group found in the Hindu Kush mountain range in the Chitral district of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Although quite numerous before the twentieth century, this non-Muslim group has been partially assimilated by the larger Muslim majority of Pakistan and seen its numbers dwindle over the past century. Today, sheikhs, or converts to Islam, make up more than half of the total Kalasha-speaking population. 

Please help us to create this area of the world into a "World Heritage" site before their culture disappears forever. Thank you very much!
