The United States government is dynamiting the sacred place of Kumeyaay, who live on both sides of the border, and blasted two sacred monoliths that were 60 to 120 million years old southeast of San Diego, California. The U.S. began blasting Cerro Cuchumá in early April, a historic and sacred site where Kumeyaay medicine people carry out ceremonies. The blasting was done without consultation as required by U.S. federal law.

A uranium ore haul truck traveling from a uranium mine in the Havasupai's homeland in the Grand Canyon, to a mill site in the White Mesa Ute's community in Utah, was struck by a vehicle in the northwestern Navajo Nation on May 6, 2026. The collision  exposes the danger from the radioactive haul trucks covered only with tarps.

The trucks travel from Energy Fuels Pinyon Plain uranium mine in the Grand Canyon in Havasupai ancestral land, through Flagstaff, and across Navajo and Hopi lands before reaching Energy Fuels mill site on Ute ancestral land in southeastern Utah.
