#Havasupai Elder #DiannaUqualla: #UraniumMining #Contamination is Here, Hold on to Your Ancestral Ways

"Stay strong, no matter what the world throws at us, we survive."

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 24, 2025

TUBA CITY, #NavajoNation -- "Havasupai Dianna Uqualla said that she brought sad news, that the contamination from the #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine is already here, and has contaminated the air and the soil. Uqualla asked for the people to rely on their prayers and ancestral ways to guide them.

"Uqualla, traditional practitioner who served as the council's vice chairwoman, spoke at the #AwarenessWalk here on Saturday, as Native people from the region gathered to shut down Pinyon Plain uranium mine, and stop the #radioactive haul trucks from the #GrandCanyon to the #UraniumMill in the #WhiteMesaUte community in #Utah.

"Uqualla said Havasupai tested the soil and air and found contamination. 'There are people that hunt, people that gather medicine, they told us we can't go there anymore, until we stop them, but they are still contaminating.'

"Havasupai never said 'Yes' to this #UraniumMining.

"The tarps are not sufficient that are covering the trucks and there are no warnings to the people."

#Protests Against #GrandCanyon #UraniumMine Continue

Saturday, August 24, 2024

Coalition statement, via #CensoredNews

GRAND CANYON, #Arizona — "#Conservation advocates will join Tribal leaders and members Saturday, Aug. 24, to demand the closure of the #PinyonPlain uranium mine that threatens the waters of the Grand Canyon and the #Havasupai Tribe.

What: Protest near #RedButte and the Pinyon Plain Uranium Mine calling on #GovHobbs and federal officials to close the mine.

When: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 24.

Where: Junction of Highway 64 and Forest Service Road 320, 10.5 miles north of Grand Canyon Junction (Valle, Arizona). Here is a map.

Who: Staff and members of the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #SierraClub, #ChispaArizona, #WildArizona, National Parks Conservation Association [#NPCA] and other groups will join Havasupai Tribal leaders and members of other Tribes in solidarity and will be available for interviews.

"The mine, which began extracting uranium ore on Jan. 8, is 7 miles south of Grand Canyon National Park, at the foot of sacred Red Butte (Wii'i Gdwiisa in Havasupai), and inside the newly designated Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.

"Saturday’s protest will come after weeks of recent actions opposing the mine and the hauling of radioactive #UraniumOre across the #NavajoNation, which has called the transportation of uranium across its land an infringement on Tribal sovereignty.

"Earlier this month Navajo Nation President #BuuNygren issued an executive order banning shipments of uranium from the mine across the Nation; hauling is now paused. Soon after Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes called for an updated environmental study on the mine, warning of potential risks of allowing the mine to proceed under the authority of a nearly 40-year-old Environmental Impact Statement.

"In June, Tribal members and conservation groups delivered a petition with more than 17,000 signatures urging Gov. Hobbs to use her authority to close the mine. In January, 80 groups and scientists called on her to do the same. New research indicates that the best way to protect the waters of the region is to shut down the mine."

'Shut it Down! No #UraniumMining in the #GrandCanyon'

"In four large #protests last week, thousands of Northern #Arizona residents came together to call on Arizona #GovernorHobbs and #PresidentBiden to close the #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine, which threatens Grand Canyon’s #groundwater, biodiverse springs, and nearby communities, like the #Havasupai Tribe.

"The wave of action was sparked by #NavajoNation President #BuuNygren who sent police to stop the mine’s first uranium shipments from crossing the Nation. Though Gov. Hobbs later brokered a deal to temporarily suspend ore shipments, protestors are demanding that the mine be CLOSED. It’s the is only way to prevent permanent damage to the Grand Canyon region’s environment and people.

"Live near #RedButteArizona? Join the Center, Havasupai Tribe, and other partners on August 24 for another rally calling for the mine’s closure.

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

By Tó Nizhóní Ání, #CensoredNews, August 7, 2024

"On Sunday, Tó Nizhóní Ání traveled to Red Butte to stand in solidarity with the #Havasupai People who oppose #UraniumMining and transport. For those unaware, the #PinyonPlain Mine has begun transporting #uranium ore across the #NavajoNation to the #WhiteMesaMill 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.
