Son of Curly

Uranium mining in South Dakota affects all of the water downstream, and therefore us all! Water will not stay in one place, and is already more expensive than gasoline, so we'd better preserve the water for ourselves and future generations.

Besides, what will they make Coor's with if the water is irradiated?

Milo Yellow Hair on Uranium Mining in the Lakota Republic



download this clip!


Milo Yellow Hair is a longtime Oglala Sioux activist, working to prevent the Canadian corporation, Cameco, from expanding open pit uranium mining in Crow Butte, Nebraska.

The uranium mines in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Nebraska are poisoning the watershed, causing a variety of cancers on the rez and in the many communities downstream. This issue speaks not only to environmental and health concerns, but also those of sovereignty of the Lakotah peoples and the use of their sacred tribal lands.

There will be a hearing to review new Environmental Impact Reports and Water Studies in the third week of July.
