Dine' in Cameron: No More Cancer! No More Uranium!

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News

CAMERON, Navajo Nation -- Dine' continued their protests in Cameron, Arizona, on the Navajo Nation today, Saturday. On Tuesday without notice, two radioactive trucks carrying uranium passed through their community.

The trucks began at the Pinyon Plain uranium mine, now threatening Havasupai water in the Grand Canyon, and passed through Navajo communities, and past Hopi villages, before arriving on the ancestral land of White Mesa Ute in southeastern Utah. Although Navajo President Buu Nygren deployed tribal police to stop them, Nygren said the trucks reached their destination.

Fake 'green energy transition" endangering Four Corners

Interior Sec. Deb Haaland said in Farmington N.M. that the energy transition team for the Four Corners region will be headed up by the nuclear industry: Los Alamos National Labs (which has already poisoned Pueblo land in northern New Mexico.)

Haaland described the nuclear weapons industry as "clean energy," without pointing out that there is no safe way to dispose of nuclear waste.

Currently, the Interior is doing nothing to protect Havasupai, Navajo, Hopi and Ute from uranium mining in Grand Canyon, the hauling of radioactive uranium across tribal lands, and the dangerous uranium mill on Ute land.
