  3. #NavajoNation Dishonors Legacy of #KleeBenally: Agrees to #Uranium Transport Through #Navajo Communities

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, February 3, 2025

    "The Navajo Nation dishonored the memory and legacy of Klee Benally by agreeing to allow radioactive uranium trucks to travel through the Navajo Nation. It was what Klee spent the last years of his life fighting against.

    "The deadly trucks from the #EnergyFuels #PinyonPlain uranium mine in the #GrandCanyon will pass through the #Havasupai's homeland, and then past the homes of #Paiute, #Dine' and #Hopi in Arizona before reaching the dumping ground: The Energy Fuels #UraniumMill in the #WhiteMesaUte Community in Southern #Utah.

    "Klee is being honored with a #NuclearFreeFutures Award in New York in March.

    "Nuclear Free Futures said, in announcing the award, 'Klee Benally was a Navajo activist and musician and member of the Navajo #Tódichiinii Clan and the #Nakai #Diné Clan. In addition to a
    musical career with his siblings in the band #Blackfire,

    "'Klee was a passionate campaigner and filmmaker exposing the #colonialist legacy of uranium mines and working for the cleanup of the more than 500 abandoned uranium mines that continue to contaminate the Navajo Nation. A month before his death on December 30, 2023, Klee published his book, '#NoSpiritualSurrender: #IndigenousAnarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'

    "The award will be accepted by his mother Berta Benally.

    "Klee, co-founder of #HaulNo!, warned of the danger to the water and rivers from the uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, and the planned deadly transport of radioactive ore, before he passed in
    December 2023: 'There is possible radioactive contamination to land, water, and air from the #CanyonMine, White
    Mesa Mill, and transport of uranium would impact northern Arizona, southeast Utah, the #ColoradoRiver, #MoenkopiWash, the #SanJuanRiver, and the lands and cultural resources of the #Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo, Ute, and Paiute peoples.'"

  5. #KleeBenally, Navajo advocate for #IndigenousPeople and #environmental causes, dies in Phoenix

    Klee Benally was among the most vocal opponents of snowmaking at #ArizonaSnowbowl ski resort in #Flagstaff.

    AP, January 1, 2024

    PHOENIX — "Klee Benally, a Navajo man who advocated on behalf of Indigenous people and environmental causes, has died, his sister said. He was 48 years old.

    "Benally died Saturday at a Phoenix hospital, Jeneda Benally said. His cause of death was not disclosed.

    "Klee Benally was among the most vocal opponents of snowmaking at Arizona Snowbowl ski resort in Flagstaff. At least 13 tribes consider the mountain on public land to be sacred.

    "He protested #PoliceViolence and #RacialProfiling and was among activists who gathered outside metro Phoenix’s NFL stadium in 2014 to denounce the offensive team name previously used by the franchise from Washington, D.C.

    "Benally advocated for the cleanup of abandoned #mines, where #uranium ore was extracted from the Navajo Nation over decades to support U.S. #nuclear activities during the #ColdWar.

    "He also spoke out against an ordinance that, in a bid to address the problem of #homelessness, had banned camping on public property in Flagstaff.

    "'There is no compassionate way to enforce the #AntiCamping ordinance,' Benally said in 2018 when officials declined to alter the 2005 ordinance. 'Life is already hard enough for our unsheltered relatives on the streets.'

    "Benally was also a guitarist, and played with his sister and brother in the Native American punk rock band #Blackfire."

  6. #KleeBenally, cultural advocate and land defender, dies at 48

    By Kianna Joe | Dec 31, 2023

    "KINŁÁNÍ-DOOK’O’OOSŁÍÍD

    Klee Benally died Dec. 30, 2023. He was 48.

    "Benally was the son of Jones and Berta Benally. Klee Benally was from Dziłyíjiin, Arizona. He was Bi’éé’ Łichíi’ii and born for Tódích’íi’nii. His maternal grandfather is Polish and Jewish, and his paternal grandfather is Naakaii Dine’é. He lived in Kinłání, where he proudly stood tall with Dook’o’oosłííd.

    "In his last interview with the Navajo Times on Dec. 7, Benally credited his father, a respected and known hataałii, who shared the Diné traditions and culture with him.

    "Klee Benally’s teachings growing up laid a foundation for who he was as a Diné and led to him fighting for the sacred Dook’o’oosłííd.

    "'For Diné people, it represents a part of our cosmology and being,' Benally said on Dec. 7. 'Each mountain is a part of our creation account set forward for our boundaries, Diné Bikéyah, where we walk around.'

    "Benally described the mountains as leaders that hold and share teachings for Diné.

    "Countless comments from people who knew and followed Benally shared their sudden sadness but described Benally as a 'one-of-a-kind' wise son, brother, uncle, or grandpa.

    "Along with fighting for sacred elements, Benally was an artist in many mediums, writer, musician, and filmmaker.

    "On Thursday, Dec. 21, Benally launched his book, '#NoSpiritualSurrender, Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred,' at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Flagstaff. However, the book was released in November with physical copies only available at Bookmans in Flagstaff or online at #DetritusBooks website.

    "The book delves into Benally’s experience fighting for sacred places and why he does it to protect #nahasdzáán.

    "Benally recounted the many times he had been arrested, along with tying himself to heavy machinery to send a message that he wasn’t going anywhere for the land’s sake.

    "In a post shared on Benally’s Instagram page, he shares his full circle moment having done shows with his band #Blackfire at the #LeftBankBooksCollective bookstore in Seattle, Washington, where he was able to drop a few copies of his book off at.

    "His music with Blackfire was fueled with the same messages he shared in his book, justice for Indigenous people and the land.

    "Blackfire was created in 1989 with Benally and his siblings, Jeneda and Clayson Benally.

    "Benally’s work reflected his dedication and understanding of fighting for land and its Indigenous peoples.

    "Benally was a part of many organizations working to support and fight for land like '#HaulNo!' and '#ProtectThePeaks.'

    "Benally worked endlessly for the community and land, which are grateful to have been protected by a dedicated #Diné."

  7. #Blackfire - #Resist (with #KleeBenally)

    "Walk upon the screaming grounds, each step takes us on a different past
    We try to carry on, but you hold us back
    We get used to the pain, 'cause we feel it every day
    We get used to the lies, 'cause the truths so far away
    Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
    You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

    "The past is just an echo we hear in the pages of books
    But how can we let go of something we could never touch
    Were given the freedom of speech but you change our words
    You turn to help the environment but you can't respect the earth

    "Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
    You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

    "You sold your life for another life
    You sold your future thought you could survive
    You sold your soul for an education
    What you got was forced relocation

    Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
    You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

    "Decide now which side of the fence you want to be on
    Which way do you want to live?
    How can we choose one or the other
    We must resist
    We will build the bridges
    We will tear down the fences
    We will resist, We will resist!

    "Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
    You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?
    Is nothing sacred?"
