Shut Down Energy Fuels -- Uranium Mining and Radioactive Dumping on Native People
By Greenaction, Censored News, June 3, 2026
On Saturday, May 16th, about sixty people including White Mesa Ute Community members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Navajo people, and supporters gathered at La Sal Junction to raise public awareness and to protest against Energy Fuels Resources' uranium mines at La Sal and the disposal of uranium ore at the company's "mill" located south of Blanding, Utah, next to the White Mesa Ute Community.
Ute Elders offered a prayer and spoke about the importance of protecting their community, Osacred places, and everyone's environment from the radiation threat posed by Energy Fuels' operations. Tribal members expressed strong opposition to the Energy Fuels mill turning into an international radioactive waste facility.
Participants also expressed solidarity with the Havasupai Tribe fighting to close Energy Fuels' Pinyon Plain uranium mine near the Grand Canyon.
In addition to concerned local residents, groups that participated in the event were the White Mesa Concerned Community, Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice, Uranium Watch, Moab Mutual Aid, Utah Sierra Club, and Northern Arizona American Indian Movement.
The White Mesa Concerned Community grassroots group extended an invitation to the public to join them on Saturday, October 17th for their 10th Annual White Mesa Spiritual Walk and Protest against Energy Fuels.
