Waste Lands: the Nuclear Free Indian Lands Project
Native Americans from a multitude of tribes speak about the United States government’s efforts to store radioactive nuclear waste on their lands. The health and environmental threats are discussed, as is the history of the government’s treatment of Native peoples. Some interviews take place with attendees at the McDermitt Community Meeting on “Monitored Retrievable Storage.” Others were recorded at the National Congress of American Indians in Denver, Colorado. Among the tribes represented are the Northern Paiute, Sac and Fox Nation, Laguna Pueblo, Shoshone, Tonkawa Nation, Klickitat Nation, Yakama Nation, San Ildefonso Pueblo, and the Menominee. Tribal members, legislators, spiritual leaders, and activists speak about the harm being done to their communities under existing conditions, and the potential greater threat if radioactive nuclear waste is stored on their lands. A representative from the U. S. Department of Energy says that the problem of nuclear waste is a national issue and it requires a national solution, but when locations are proposed, it becomes very much a local concern.
This recording was digitized and made accessible as part of the “Digitizing Audio-Visual Materials in the Peace Collection from the U.S. Anti-Nuclear Movement” grant funded by the Samuel Rubin Foundation (grant number 22203), 2019.
