Tó Nizhóní Ání at Red Butte: Solidarity in the Source of Power


By Tó Nizhóní Ání, Censored News, August 7, 2024

On Sunday, Tó Nizhóní Ání traveled to Red Butte to stand in solidarity with the Havasupai People who oppose uranium mining and transport. For those unaware, the Pinyon Plain Mine has begun transporting uranium ore across the Navajo Nation to the White Mesa Mill in Utah. With the recent halt in transportation, we urge our Diné people to be vigilant about this issue as it impacts our way of life, land, and people in the Navajo Nation. Learn more by following HaulNo and visiting their website to learn more about this issue:

Bring power back to our Diné communities impacted by coal. ✊🏽 #TóBeeIiná #WaterIsLife

Pinyon Plain uranium mine, inside the boundary of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni National Monument, is threatening the aquifer where Havasuapai get their life-sustaining water. Now, without notifying Native American Nations, two Energy Fuels radioactive uranium trucks drove across the Navajo Nation, past Hopi villages, to the uranium mill site on ancestral White Mesa Ute land in Utah. -- Censored News
