Navajo Nation Targeted Again for Sacrifice Zone: 'Energy Companies Preying on the People'

Dine' ask: Why is the Navajo Nation allowing energy companies to prey on communities and individuals?

Dine' on the Navajo Nation are now targeted with a push to revitalize dirty coal energy, and a hydro-power project that would pump precious water from their aquifer. Dine' question why the Navajo Nation government is allowing energy companies to prey on the communities and individuals.

Louise Benally of Big Mountain said the bottom line is greed. "They want to eat up everything but, don't know that even their lives depend on it too. Poisoning the natural cycle will come back and destroy them too."

The new stampede of parasitic energy companies to the Navajo Nation comes at the same time that radioactive uranium trucks, covered only with tarps, are traveling across the Navajo Nation, from the Grand Canyon uranium mine to the mill in the White Mesa Ute community in Utah.
