White Mesa Ute Spiritual Walk and Protest The Spiritual Walk began with a prayer song acknowledging the Creator this morning, and the reminder that this is Indigenous land. Walkers were asked to respond if they were called on to stop the trucks bringing in radioactive loads, with the reminder that the radioactive trucks are endangering everyone on the haul route.

White Mesa Ute Community Spiritual Walk and Protest, Oct. 12, 2024 The White Mesa Mill is poisoning the Ute community with radioactive waste from Europe and Japan. Radioactive ore is now being brought in from the Pinyon Plain mine in the Grand Canyon. Radioactive waste too deadly to be left at the Nuclear Test Site in Nevada was dumped here. Ute are suffering from cancer due to reckless radioactive storage and transport. The aquifer for the entire Four Corners region is endangered by leaking containers. The White Mesa Mill and Pinyon Plain mine are owned by Energy Fuels of Canada. Neither the U.S. government, nor the State of Utah are protecting lives in the region, wildlife, sacred plants, or the water, soil, air. The deadly radioactive haul route from the Grand Canyon to the mill in southeastern Utah endangers Havasupai, Paiute, Dine', Hopi and Ute. -- Censored News     Photo by Ofelia Rivas  Photo by Ofelia Rivas  |
