LAVEEN VILLAGE, Gila River Indian Community, Arizona -- In the Gila River Indian Community today, Biden claimed to be issuing an apology to Native children who were victims of U.S. boarding schools. His glory campaign was short-lived.

White Mesa, Utah — The White Mesa Mill was built in 1979 with plans to process uranium ore for 15 years.

On October 12, over 75 people participated in an annual spiritual walk in opposition to the mill, which is the last conventional uranium processing plant in operation in the United States.

The most obvious is Raytheon Missiles located at the University of Arizona's Tech Park in Tucson. The less obvious are the millions in grants and contracts that both the University of Arizona and Arizona State University receive for technology, including cyber technology, artificial intelligence and robotics.
