In her new book “Yellow Dirt,” Judy Pasternak writes of a harrowing tale from Navajo country: how the U.S. government allowed uranium companies to walk away from hundreds of radioactive mines across the reservation. Not told of the danger, Navajos built their homes from the leftover ore and tailings. As Pasternak tells LOE’s Steve Curwood, four generations of people were sickened and are still being buried.
____________
GELLERMAN: It's Living on Earth. I'm Bruce Gellerman. Judy Pasternak, a former investigative reporter with the Los Angeles Times, has written an epic story about US efforts to obtain uranium during the cold war. Her book, Yellow Dirt, chronicles how mining companies walked away, leaving radioactive ore and tailings behind. And 60 years later Americans in the southwest were still being exposed. Judy Pasternak spoke with Living on Earth's Steve Curwood.
CURWOOD: You begin your story in Indian country in Arizona in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and you found that some Navajo suspected that they might have some special rocks that outsiders coveted. What had they noticed?
PASTERNAK: They noticed these yellow stripes in the rock, powder-yellow stripes. And, really, the first people who settled this one valley that's the central setting for my book- thought that this was gold.
CURWOOD: So, this is an area that white people call "Cane Valley," where people noticed, the Navajo noticed these rocks. And, one of your main characters in this story of 'yellow dirt' tells his children, 'Never ever tell any of the white men about these rocks.' But, I guess, temptation eventually overtakes one of them.
PASTERNAK: Yeah, (laughs), his son, in fact, his favorite son. And, that was well before atomic bombs were being developed. But, later, during WWII, one of the Indian traders put some rocks, some samples, out on his counter, and he told the son, who was a customer, that this could be worth a lot of money.
CURWOOD: And, the son immediately goes out and...
PASTERNAK: Yeah...so...yes. So then he gathered up some of these rocks that were on the mason, and then brought them in.
CURWOOD: And it turns out this isn't just any old uranium deposit, Judy, but this is the mother load of powerful uranium. Very rich uranium. What, hundreds of mines are blasted and tunneled across the land as a consequence as this.
PASTERNAK: Yeah, the Navajo reservation as a whole, really has world-class deposits of uranium. And, the mesa that rose above Cane Valley was the hottest, richest, most productive uranium mine on Navajo land.
CURWOOD: We know a fair amount about the miners- the health effects on them- but your book also documents, I think, for the first time...I've read this...maybe it's in other material, about the broad range of suffering that the whole Navajo community suffered as a function of exposure. Tell us about the watering holes that were left from the surface mining, for example.
PASTERNAK: There were huge open-pit uranium mines in the western part of the reservation because the deposit was so shallow- they could just blast it right out of the ground. When the mining companies left, according to their contract, they were supposed to return the land in as good condition as received. But nobody asked them to fill in these pits.
And, what happened was- they collected rain. And, these pits, some of them were half a mile long. They looked like lakes in the desert, they looked like oasis. So, shepherds who were coming by were actually pretty grateful for their presence because all of a sudden here was a water supply in the desert. And, so, they would drink. They would water their herds there and they would drink themselves.
CURWOOD: And, in Navajo culture, the shepherds are often women.
PASTERNAK: That's right, and some of those women were pregnant.
CURWOOD: What happened to them?
PASTERNAK: There is a correlation between women who drank contaminated water while they were pregnant and a syndrome that's known as 'Navajo Neurapathy'. Children who have this, generally the average age of death is ten. Some lived into their thirties. They had fused, stiffened, fingers and toes that were kind of like claws. Many of them had liver damage- also they had problems with the nerves in their corneas, so often it was hard for them to see.

PASTERNAK: That's right.

Well, we have been very busy meeting folks who want to donate money and also raising funds with our core group on Kickstarter. So far we have raised over $8,000 and now have only have ten more days to raise support from Kickstarter.
As this amazing journey continues to the next level we are proud to say we have been blessed by our elders support and also support from Navajo Medicine families. As of today, we are so close to reaching our goal and now with just a few more thousand dollars we can finish this film and begin the next procedure which is distribution and post production. As Native American filmmakers we have noticed that since we began this journey, so often independent film making becomes a struggle for the filmmaker to stay in the green even after post production and usually end up in the the red, with debt still accumulating.
With this new insight to film making we are geared up for the big hunt, with only a few days left in our fund raising with Kickstarter, we now are reaching out again to our extended family for a few more dollars and everyone who contributes to our film will have credit as a supporter. You can find out more about this on the site at Kickstarter.
A big shout to all the folks who have donated so far, and we are very grateful for your belief of making dreams come true! Our heart goes to all filmmakers who have a dream and wish to be recognized by and maybe someday have the people watch their movies. With Spirit on our side we have noted to ourselves as tribal relations grow we have to give respect out to the ones before us. The Native world lives in the hope of being respected for the struggle, (so many other cultures have been torn apart by the world's greed). We give a sigh of relief knowing this movie will happen and some day you will watch our film and say "I helped make a dream come true". On that note we raise our glasses to the peeps who see this as another heartfelt letter to a brother or sister who thinks like we do.

Congressional hearing held at Grand Canyon concerning economic and human implications of uranium mining at the Grand Canyon.
http://grandcanyonnews.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&subsectionID=1&articleID=8711
Excerpts (please go to links to actually read the articles ;^)
The proximity to the mining, however, has raised concerns for the tribe, she said, in that heavy winds can often pass through the area in question and carry to the reservation. She said that tribal officials are also concerned that the mining could conceivably contaminate their water supply, though she added that she currently had no data to support those concerns.
"The thing with uranium is you cannot, see it, smell it, or touch it, or hear it come," Tilousi said. "We have experienced an increase in cancer."
--------
Clark said he plans to return to Washington D.C. where he hopes to continue progress on the watershed protection act.
"I work a lot on the uranium issues so my hope is that we go ahead and get the Grand Canyon Watershed Protection Act out of the house. We'll be headed back to D.C. with some of our Havasupai friends fairly soon to reinforce that message with Congress," Clark said. "We're trying to build support in the Senate. So far McCain and Kyl have been unresponsive to our requests, so we may need to go elsewhere to get a sponsor."

Contamination threatens Hopi water supply
http://jackcentral.com/news/2008/09/contamination-threatens-hopi-water-supply/
by Joey Chenoweth on September 25, 2008
Uranium leaks discovered in the groundwater have come closer to contaminating the entire supply of drinking water for two villages in the Hopi reservation.
--
The origin of the uranium leak goes back to the 1960s when the natural gas company El Paso Corporation transitioned from one mining process to another. They needed a location to dump waste that had been produced by the transition....
---
Over the past 40 years, the uranium has moved through approximately 4,000 feet of groundwater from its source. At this rate, the contamination will reach the wells of Lower Moencopi in approximately 10 years.

and this is how it typically gets handled...

“We need to create a way of life where a community is not forced to cannibalize their mother in order to live.”
—Winona LaDuke, Anishinaabe activist
POWER PATHS offers a unique glimpse into the global energy crisis from the perspective of a culture pledged to protect the planet, historically exploited by corporate interests and neglected by public policy makers.
The film follows an intertribal coalition as they fight to transform their local economies by replacing coal mines and smog-belching power plants with renewable energy technologies. This transition would honor their heritage and support future generations by protecting their sacred land, providing electricity to their homes and creating jobs for their communities.
Their story is a parable for our time, when the planet as a whole hungers for alternatives to fossil fuels. For environmental trailblazers, it’s proof that going green is not only possible—it’s the only choice we have.

A prophetic Navajo story about human alienation from Mother Earth
The Rainbow Boy is an allegorical tale about the consequences of loss of culture and human devastation of planet earth. The story tells about an ancient Navajo warrior, Eagle Catcher, who enters a sacred cave despite an ancient prophecy that warns against entering the cave. Eagle Catcher is transported to the future, which is our own present, where he sees and lives the prophetic devastation of modern humans. His arrival profoundly affects young Ozzie Yazzie, a modern Navajo punk kid struggling to understand his own identity and culture. Almost dying, Eagle Catcher is assisted by his Navajo people, who take him back to the holy cave. Upon returning to his own time, he is given four prophecies about the dire consequences of human choices and actions for the future of planet earth

WASHINGTON – It was a historic day as tribal leaders representing a majority of the 564 federally recognized tribes in the United States converged on Washington, D.C. for the White House Tribal Nations Conference with President Barack Obama Nov. 5 as part of his outreach efforts to the first American people.
A Navajo delegation attended the meeting, a meeting that marked the largest and most attended gathering of tribal leaders in the history of the United States.
The Honorable Speaker Lawrence T. Morgan led a Navajo delegation that included Council Delegates Hope MacDonald LoneTree, Coalmine Canyon/Toh Nanees Dizi; and Lawrence R. Platero, Tohajilee. Navajo Vice President Ben Shelly was also in attendance.
The conference provided tribal leaders the opportunity to directly interact and voice their concerns with President Obama and high ranking representatives in his administration.
Morgan was thankful for the opportunity to be invited to the meeting.
“It is an honor to unite here with President Obama for this gathering to discuss pressing issues Indian country is facing today. This is truly a history-making event, I am glad to be part of it and I am humbled to be here representing the great Navajo Nation.”

By ULA ILNYTZKY, Associated Press Writer Ula Ilnytzky, Associated Press Writer – Tue Nov 10, 4:08 pm ET
NEW YORK – The famed Navajo Code Talkers, the elite Marine unit whose unbreakable code stymied the Japanese in World War II, fear their legacy will die with them.
Only about 50 of the 400 Code Talkers are believed to be still alive, most living in the Navajo Nation reservation that spans Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Many are frail or ill, with little time left to tell the world about their wartime contribution.
But on Tuesday, 13 of the Code Talkers, some using canes, a few in wheelchairs, arrived in New York City to participate for the first time in the nation's largest Veterans Day parade, set for Wednesday.
The young Navajo Marines, using secret Navajo language-encrypted military terms, helped the U.S. prevail at Iwo Jima and other World War II Pacific battles, serving in every Marine assault in the South Pacific between 1942 and 1945. Military commanders said the code, transmitted verbally by radio, helped save countless American lives and bring a speedier end to the war in the Pacific theater.
They were sworn to secrecy about their code, so complex that even other Navajo Marines couldn't decipher it. Used to transmit secret tactical messages via radio or telephone, the code remained unbroken and classified for decades because of its potential postwar use.
"We were never told that our code was never decoded" or given identities of the original 29 Navajos who created it, said Keith Little, 85, who joined the Marines at 17 and remembers crouching in a bomb crater amid heavy fire on Iwo Jima.
"It was all covered by secrecy. We were constantly told not to talk about it," Little said. The Code Talkers felt compelled to honor their secrecy orders, even after the code was declassified in 1968.
The oldest of the 13 living Code Talkers is 92, and the group includes one of the original 29. Many Code Talkers who served in the war were young farmers and sheepherders who had never been away from home.
"The code did a lot of damage to the enemy," said Samuel Tom Holiday, 85, of Kayenta, Ariz., who also is joining the parade. He was a 20-year-old Code Talker when he and two other Marines went behind enemy lines on Iwo Jima to locate a Japanese artillery unit advancing on American forces

More about the flute music featured in this video:
Travis Terry is a native Flutist of the Pima Nation who is born of the indigenous Gila River Pima Nation in Sacaton, Arizona.
On his myspace page, Native flutist Travis Terry says:
"I grew up surrounded by ethnic music and instruments of long ago, including the Native flute," Terry said. “As a child I had natural appreciation for music, which contributed to me becoming a self-taught flutist in my adult years. My military service has sent me around the world exposing me to the musical traditions of various cultures."
"Ethnic music was a continual interest and drew me closer to this dream of creating music. I have always been grateful to my parents (Irving and Caroline) for supporting my dreams and at the same time continually teaching me and my sisters (Denise and Dawn) the indigenous Pima culture, traditions and language. These values have aided me in blending contemporary culture with this heritage of the 'Desert People.' This conscious blending of cultures is very much reflected in my musical compositions and playing style."
"After my military service, I visited Canyon De Chelly where my good fortune led me to meet my lovely wife Cara and settle in Chinle, AZ. Cara and her family taught me the ways and language of the Dine (Navajo) people."(Rock Point, AZ) - Videos produced by two Pittsburgh area churches led by Pastor Susan... more

(Rock Point, AZ) - During July 2009, volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Sacramento, CA visited the Navajo Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ to assist the Navajo people with the health of their livestock.
Despite the extreme summer heat and the remote Navajo homes, church members helped deworm and vaccinate 500 sheep and goats plus 200 horses.
The volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross paid for the expense of vaccinating over 700 livestock.
The vaccination program badly needs funding and anyone wish to help should contact the Navajo Lutheran Mission (see contact info below)
The Navajo Lutheran Mission extends special thanks to Arizona Navajo musician Anthony Maloney, who music is featured in this video and will be used in upcoming videos (scroll down for more info and links about Anthony Maloney)
Songs by Maloney included in this video are "Our Warriors" and "A Better Life."
