Cibola County Beacon – Feds, Navajos discuss uranium

 

CIBOLA COUNTY – Officials from the Navajo Nation continue to press the federal government to clean up dangerous, old and exposed mining sites that still exist on the reservation. Navajo President Joe Shirley also requested a federal moratorium on new mining on the reservations.

Leaders from congress, the Navajo Nation and directors of federal agencies met last Thursday to discuss past, present and future uranium mining on the Navajo Nation.
