Please join us for an online conference, October 7-8, 2021, to learn about the White Mesa Ute community and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe's struggle against the last conventional uranium mill in the United States, as well as uranium and the nuclear fuel chain’s impacts on Indigenous communities across the country.
Located just a few miles from the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s White Mesa community and on the doorstep of Bears Ears National Monument, the White Mesa Mill was originally designed to run for 15 years before being closed and cleaned up. But the mill is still in operation 40 years later, and community members are concerned about public health impacts and contamination of land, air, and water, as well as the mill’s ongoing desecration of cultural and sacred sites.
