At the same time, the Center for Constitutional Rights in the United States announced its case filed against President Biden for genocide in Palestine begins in federal court in northern California on Friday.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation said the Oblates are transferring all outstanding records to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. The first group of residential school records is now on its public website.

The Havasuapai Tribal Council said, "It is with heavy hearts that we must acknowledge that our greatest fear has come true."

"Despite decades of active and tireless opposition, Energy Fuels, a foreign for-profit mining company, has acted in its own self-serving interest and extracted toxic uranium at the Pinyon Plain Mine (formerly the Canyon Mine), desecrating one of our most sacred sites and jeopardizing the existence of the Havasupai Tribe."
