For people who aren’t aware, there’s a very good reason why Native Americans especially wouldn’t trust uranium mines or any uranium refinement happening on or around tribal or sacred lands. Iirc it’s the world’s 3rd largest nuclear disaster and the government pretended nothing happened for a long time.
Shit. I work in the nuclear industry and I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks for sharing. The mistreatment and sheer disrespect shown to native people by corporations and government is one of the major stains on US history.
