The Green Room, a Place of Meditation and Contemplation

Green references the long history of uranium mining on the Colorado Plateau/Navajo Nation (90% of the US’s nuclear arsenal during the Cold War came from Diné land), and the resulting contamination of the land, water, livestock and humans since 1942. This left over 500 abandoned, unsealed mines littering the land and water sources. 

To learn more about ongoing threats of uranium mining in and around the Grand Canyon, a US national treasure and one of the seven wonders of the world, visit the Grand Canyon Trust online for more information. To quote citizen Susan Jane Heske: “We can make a difference by reading the Grand Canyon Trust report and calling and emailing our elected officials supporting the ban on uranium mining and protecting the Grand Canyon, and/or donating to legal funds and non-profit organizations.”
