CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS HOLDS HEARING EXAMINING “EFFECTS OF RADIATION ON INDIAN COUNTRY”
[Native American Affairs\Nuclear Radiation]
Senator Tom Udall: “Uranium mining played a key role in our country’s development of its nuclear arsenal during the Cold War. Much of that mining took place in Indian Country here in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and across the West – exposing uranium workers miners to toxic levels of radiation in the process.” My father, Stewart Udall, and I brought the stories of deceased Navajo uranium miners to light and sued on behalf of their widows for fair compensation by the federal government…Today’s hearing was about understanding the past and remedying past wrongs. It’s also a call to action for the present and future. “
