Yes, what better place than a population that has been targeted for assimilation, suffered theft of lands, witnessed the taking of naturally bestowed rights? A population that has been subjected to racial Indian Act legislation essentially stripping away all that sustained this population for thousands of years.</p><p>"Yes, let us give the Indians some more shiny beads and trinkets so that they willingly agree to care for our radioactive garbage. How do we do this? Let’s talk to the Chief and Council. Let’s wine and dine them. Let’s give them some money, take them to dinner, buy some drinks and make them feel all festive and most of all make them think we are looking out for their best interests. Some Chiefs have taken the bait.</p><p>"Egregious as it may be, this is exactly what is happening in some Indigenous communities contrary to the will of the majority. Elected Chiefs are continuing the deception as they are blinded and professing the 'Nuclear is Green' mantra. They have lost connection with the Spirit of Ancestors and traditional values.

Churchrock Mine to a disposal site at the Red Rock regional landfill about six miles east of the Village of Thoreau. The cleanup will begin in early 2025 and continue for 6-8 years.</p><p>"For the Red Water Pond Road Community Association (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RWPRCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWPRCA</span></a>), which has advocated for waste removal since 2006, the decision marks a significant shift in addressing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumContamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraniumContamination</span></a> on Navajo land.</p><p>"'Removing the mine waste from our community will protect our health and finally put us back on a positive track to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H%C3%B3zh%C7%AB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hózhǫ</span></a> (balance),' said Teracita Keyanna, RPWPRCA executive committee member.

Commercial mining began at the site under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KerrMcGee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KerrMcGee</span></a> Corporation, which later became the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/QuiviraMiningCompany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuiviraMiningCompany</span></a>. The operation extracted an estimated 1.3 million tons of uranium ore before closing in 1986. The Navajo Nation currently has more than 520 documented <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbandonedMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbandonedMines</span></a>, with no disposal facilities for uranium waste within 350 miles of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TribalLands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TribalLands</span></a>.</p><p>"'Many of us suffer chronic health problems and a degraded homeland as a result,' Hood said. 'We advocate for a regional approach to addressing remediation of nearly 100 abandoned uranium mines in the Eastern Navajo Agency. We are committed to making sure the removal of mine waste from our community does not threaten the health and safety of our Diné neighbors.'</p><p>"Previous attempts to address the waste proved unsuccessful. In 2011 and 2013, the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a plan to place 1 million cubic yards of waste from NECRM on top of the existing tailings pile located half a mile from RWPRC village. Effectively, neither of those wastes were removed from the communities.</p><p>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RedRockLandfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedRockLandfill</span></a> currently handles municipal waste from McKinley and Cibola counties and Navajo Nation communities as far away as Tuba City.

The New Mexico Environment Department will oversee long-term monitoring of the site.</p><p>"Chris Shuey, who has documented mining and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/milling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milling</span></a> impacts in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Churchrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Churchrock</span></a> area for 40 years as an environmental health specialist at Southwest Research and Information Center in Albuquerque, said relocating uranium waste is essential for tribal communities. </p><p>"'Removing mine wastes from Navajo communities to engineered, regional disposal sites is a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> imperative,' Shuey said, noting that more than half of all Navajo chapters have at least one source of unhealthy uranium exposure. 'The federal government must continue looking for suitable sites for long-term disposal of mine wastes to protect current and future Navajo populations.'</p><p>"'This decision will remove over 1 million cubic yards of waste that has haunted the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RedWaterPondRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedWaterPondRoad</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PipelineRoad</span></a> communities for too long,' EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Martha Guzman said in a statement. </p><p>"'This solution is a compromise that will get <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWaste</span></a> in this area off of the Navajo Nation as soon as possible,' Navajo Nation President <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuuNygren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuuNygren</span></a> said in the EPA statement.

Here's a snapshot from 2002. I had a link to their website from the now-defunct What? Magazine Online back when I first heard about Shundahai back in 1998/1999.</p><p>"Shundahai Network was formed at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site in 1994, by a council of long-term nuclear disarmament activists, at the request of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorbinHarney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorbinHarney</span></a>, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternShoshone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternShoshone</span></a> Spiritual Leader. We have evolved into an international network of activists and organizations bridging the gap between the environmental, peace and justice and indigenous land rights communities.</p><p>"Shundahai Network opposes all nuclear weapons research, development, testing and production. We actively seek to close down the Nevada Test Site to all nuclear weapons programs except for radioactive contamination containment and cleanup. Shundahai Network also opposes all nuclear waste dumping on indigenous peoples lands. We are fighting to halt the proposed high-level nuclear waste dumps at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YuccaMountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YuccaMountain</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkullValleyReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkullValleyReservation</span></a>. We work to educate about the dangers of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWaste</span></a> transportation and promote a safe and sane energy policy based on conservation and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewable</span></a> resources.
