Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, little has changed in 40 years.

Wow great job Eric! I’ve been to the lands in the last few years. The ground water is undrinkable and they have to have water trucked in to their homes. So sad.

I'm still shocked that basically nothing has changed in 40 years. Every time I go down there I look at some of the mine and mill sites. A few are gone but no compensation was ever paid to the Navajo. Tragic.

Interest in uranium mining has returned. There are many new claims and new players.

I was just in havasupai in March. The tribe was fighting a proposed mine that would contaminate all their drinking water downstream. Of course the mine won and mined anyways somewhere around January of this year. Arsenic and uranium was released into their aquaphors. Therefor it is impossible for them to drink uncontaminated water without flying it in. Also visitors have to drink from the springs. This June many hikers got extremely sick and had to be flown out. It's just disgusting that the rich gets away with this.

You made this documentary!? GOD Bless you and thank you I pray these dear people have gotten help smh how evil our government has been/still is GOD help US take care of each other never ever harm anyone

I'm a former nuclear reactor operator who's traversed the Grand Canyon, including sites downstream from former uranium mines. I'm one of those who have spent weeks inside the Canyon living in part off the native resources. I don't have anything to say, other than: heavy metals are *always* dangerous for human consumption [repeat that over and over], and that's the primary concern when a water source is near a mine. Uranium isn't more dangerous because it's "radioactive", but it 100% is because it's "heavy". I could explain the particle physics if you need it, but suffice it to say.... it's the idea that once it's in you it never leaves, like Radon gas in a basement (which is also *_literally normal.)_*

This is a good story but there is an other side to it. I ran a uranium mine near slick rock Co, and had 8 Navaho miners who made a fantastic living with what was paid to miners! I was told many times that they could not find a job even at a third of what they were being paid. We followed all the laws and kept ventilation above the minimum requirements! The Navajo miners were the best workers I ever worked with!
