The media covered up the true history of coal mining on Black Mesa. Now, Navajo President Buu Nygren is pushing and celebrating coal mining, and was in D.C. for photo ops doing it.

Peabody Coal didn't just dig up coal on Black Mesa -- they dug up Dine' from their burial places, and Dine' were put in museums. Dine' graves were dug up for 16 years. Dine' cultural items were looted by a team from Prescott College, and millions of items were taken to Southern Illinois University.

The Navajo government granted Peabody Coal its lease and knew about the robbing of graves of Dine' at the time.
