Uranium mines and mills on the Navajo Nation land have long supplied [url] nuclear weapons and energy programs. By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium sites. Radiation-related diseases are endemic, claiming the health and lives of former miners and nonminers alike. \n\nTraci Brynne Voyles argues that the presence of uranium mining on Din (Navajo) land constitutes a clea.
