#Navajos Warn of Secretive Tribal Government Reform
Dine' Grassroots coalition, "spoke of the #bribes, backdoor deals and tribal government #corruption involved in the tribe's deals with #EnergyCompanies."
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 27, 2026
"Navajos warned of a secretive Navajo government reform that is underway that would change #Diné life, and silence the voices of the people for generations to come.
"#ChiliYazzie, former #Shiprock Council Delegate and Chapter President, said proposing the government reform as a 'yes or no' question for the Dine' voters on the ballot in 2026 is 'an abuse of our people.' "

NOW: Live #Diné People’s Press Conference on #NavajoGovernment Concerns
Tó Nizhóní Ání
By #ChiliYazzie, #CensoredNews
Contact: [email protected]
"A group of grassroots organizations convened in Dec 2025 to discuss concerns related to the #NavajoNation, these concerns have been formulated into position statements to be presented to the Navajo Nation leadership including the Navajo Nation Council and the Office of the President and Vice President. These positions will be presented at the Press Conference to be held in front of the Navajo Nation Council Chambers on January 27, 2026, at 9 am.
- The proposal to reform the Navajo government drafted by the Office of Navajo Government Development has been analyzed and is found to be replete with foundational issues, we are recommending that the proposal not be presented to the Navajo people as a referendum initiative as proposed by the ONGD
- The proposal by the #Trump administration to expedite natural resources #extraction with little or no #environmental review is a critical concern
- The depletion of the #waters of Navajo lands and the continued lost of water rights must be consciously and deliberately addressed by our Navajo Nation leadership
- The uninhibited incursion by the federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency on Indian lands and arrest and abuse of #NativeAmerican citizens is greatly concerning
Diné Grassroots Coalition is a coalition comprised of Diné community members concerned about the state of the Navajo Nation."

The #Diné, their #sheep & a tale of #survival.
Nikyle Begay is a #shepherd, a #weaver, & a member of the Diné tribe. (Diné is the name for the tribe commonly referred to as #Navajo.) While it might be easy to see these as three separate identities, for Nikyle they are inseparable and each aspect informs the other, especially as Nikyle has chosen to raise #NavajoChurroSheep, a breed intrinsically tied to the history of the Diné people in more ways than just a name.https://handwovenmagazine.com/the-dine-their-sheep-and-a-tale-of-survival/

#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews , Jan. 16, 2026
"ICE is terrorizing #NativeAmericans. A Navajo on his way to work in the #Phoenix Valley was grabbed by ICE on Monday. A #PascuaYaqui tribal member grabbed near #TohonoOodham's San Xavier District, bordering Tucson, reveals how federal agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens and migrants in detention. In Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee are now being harassed and detained by ICE agents.
"Peter Yazzie, #Dine', was on his way to work in Peoria, in the Phoenix Valley, at 4 a.m., on Monday, when ICE grabbed him, ignoring his tribal ID and the fact that he is a U.S. citizen, reports Arlyssa D. Becenti, at the Arizona Republic.
"Peter Yazzie told ICE agents where they could locate his Certificate of Indian Blood, birth certificate and other documents proving that he was both a #USCitizen and #NativeAmerican. It made no difference. They aggressively placed him in the back of their vehicle and drove away early the morning of Monday, Jan. 12.'
"Yazzie was unaware that ICE was expanding operations throughout Phoenix and surrounding cities. Parked at a QT gas station between Peoria and Sun City near his job site, his morning began as usual, waking at 4 a.m. for his 5 a.m. shift."

"In the 1930s, massive herds were slaughtered without permission... (R)educed from over two million to less than 450 sheep by the 1970s. It's a financial and cultural wound from which the #Navajo people are still recovering. Now, conservation efforts have revived the Navajo Churro."

🏫🏫🏫 Navajo Boarding Schools, some notes.
"When it was time to eat, all the kids (Navajo plus other tribes) had to form a single long line. Each child was identified not by their name, but by a number. Manny was number 59. When called, it meant she was to step forward to take her meal tray..."

"Navajo culture - aka Diné - is rich, sophisticated, robust, ancient. As a lily-white woman from northern New Jersey, this nursing home, with its many Navajo employees from the nearby reservation, is the closest I’ve ever been to the Diné world. It's been an honor and a privilege..."

#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers
Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support
by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.
"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."
[...]
"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.
"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - #UnderTheCloud
USA/Mexico, 2023, Director Pedro Reyes Alvarez, Documentary, 24 min.
"The film examines the ongoing legacy of nuclear violence in the American Southwest, where uranium extraction and nuclear testing have left deep scars on both the land and its people. Featuring voices like #LeonaMorgan, a #Diné #AntiNuclear activist, the film reminds us that nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are inseparable—a fact that remains dangerously overlooked. Alongside her, other community members speak about the destruction of their environment, the health crises that continue to afflict their people, and their resistance to the mining of sacred lands. Under the Cloud is a short documentary that examines the ongoing legacy of nuclear violence in the American Southwest, where uranium extraction and nuclear testing have left deep scars on both the land and its people."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - If the silence could be broken
USA, 2025, Directed by Guy Morgan, Documentary, 77 min., English & Navajo.
"The United nation calls the genocide. We call it every day life. The film follows a small group of Dine’/Navajo families, fighting to hold onto their land, heritage and beliefs. This… is their story. Their voices... seen through their eyes. A window into the past is also a look into all our futures. Their struggle... is our struggle, as the world faces ‘Global #ClimateChange, #CorporateGreed and #GovernmentInaction."

1987, Directed by Colleen Keane, Documentary, 45 min.
"This illuminating film documents the largest radioactive waste spill in U.S. history - a national tragedy that received little attention. With the sound of a thunderclap, 94 million gallons of water contaminated with #UraniumMining waste broke through a #UnitedNuclearCorporation storage dam in 1979. The water poured into the #PuercoRiver in #NewMexico - the main water supply for the #Navajo that live along the river, and a tributary of the major source of water for #LosAngeles. Navajo ranchers, their children, and farm animals waded through the river unaware of the danger."

WTF! #Navajo Reporter #MarleyShebala Violently Arrested by #NavajoPolice, After Filing Ethics Complaint on Navajo President #BuuNygren
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, October 16, 2025
WINDOW ROCK, Navajo Nation -- "Navajo Police were sent today to evict Marley Shebala, Dine' Zuni Pueblo reporter, from her home. Marley, 73, screamed in pain as she was arrested by police. Marley had filed an ethics complaint against Navajo President Buu Nygren, and was reporting on the ongoing #corruption in the Navajo tribal government.
" 'I am 73 years old, and they have me handcuffed in my home with my daughter, our Navajo police, to
serve and protect' Marley says, as she continues to livestream. Navajo police used a locksmith to enter her home, before the violent arrest."Read more:

Dine' tell Navajo Council 'NO COAL!'
The Monster has returned, and it is even more grotesque than the one before. Dine' remember forced relocation, the loss of water and medicine plants, and the loss of loved ones. Navajos say 'No!; to Trump and Navajo President Nygren's push for coal.
By #BrendaNorrell, @bsnorrell.blogspot.com June 1, 2025
#ForestLake, #NavajoNation -- "Dine' told the #NavajoNationCouncil that the #CoalIndustry has cost them their aquifer water, and their health. Combined with #UraniumMining, they have lost their loved ones to widespread #cancer and #BlackLungDisease killing their people.

#NavajoNation Targeted Again for Sacrifice Zone: '#Energy Companies Preying on the People'
#Diné ask: Why is the Navajo Nation allowing energy companies to prey on communities and individuals?
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, May 23, 2024
"Dine' on the Navajo Nation are now targeted with a push to revitalize dirty coal energy, and a hydropower project that would pump precious water from their aquifer. Dine' question why the Navajo Nation government is allowing energy companies to prey on the communities and individuals.
"#LouiseBenally of #BigMountain [#KleeBenally's aunt] said the bottom line is greed. 'They want to eat up everything but, don't know that even their lives depend on it too. Poisoning the natural cycle will come back and destroy them too.'
"The new stampede of parasitic energy companies to the Navajo Nation comes at the same time that #radioactive #uranium trucks, covered only with tarps, are traveling across the Navajo Nation, from the #GrandCanyon uranium mine to the mill in the #WhiteMesaUte community in Utah.
"At the same time, more than 500 #UraniumMines, and scattered radioactive debris, remain on the Navajo Nation, and was never cleaned up by the U.S. government. Dirty coal mines and power plants left the legacy of death and #ForcedRelocation.
Navajo Council Plans Meeting on Revitalizing Coal Industry
"Citing #Trump's push for new #CoalMining, the #NavajoNationCouncil plans to hold a public hearing on
revitalizing the coal industry.
"The Navajo Nation Council announced the public hearing, stating that on April 8 President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order entitled, 'Reinvigorating America’s #BeautifulCleanCoal Industry
and Amending Executive Order 14241' aimed at reversing past federal policies, to boost the coal industry and to strengthen the country’s national energy security, according to the White House."The public hearing is scheduled in Forest Lake Chapter on Friday, May 30. Louise Benally and her family spent their lives battling #PeabodyCoal and resisting forced relocation at Big Mountain on #BlackMesa. She said what Trump is doing is another chapter in the assault on the land and people.
" 'Pl 93-531 is a law created by #BarryGoldwater to target our rights to water and land base to be taken away. He developed that law so, with what Trump is trying to do is no different.'" 'They want to eat up everything but, don't know that even their lives depend on it too. Poisoning the natural cycle will come back and destroy them too.'
" 'The American political system is not our government as traditional people which is where all our modern day problems come from in the form of an endless greed to keep eating up the earth and the natural resources.'
"Louise questioned Navajo Nation President #BuuNygren's support of Trump and coal mining in Washington, and Nygren's agreement for uranium trucks to cross the Navajo Nation. 'The Navajo Nation government is at a crossroads. Buu has been taken by Trump, and the people he is supposed to be responsible for are in question.'
" 'He has been taken into the bag of greed -- uranium and coal yet, there is no water. We want accountability.' "

#FlagstaffAZ: Radioactive #Uranium Truck Driver in Medical Distress: Endangerment on the Haul Route
by Shannonlynn Chester,,May 8, 2025, #CensoredNews
Excerpt: "The Navajo Nation, law enforcement and the mainstream media downplayed the risks today to Navajos and everyone on the haul route.
"This comes after Navajo President #BuuNygren cut a secret deal with #EnergyFuels for the uranium transport trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation.
Nygren released a statement about the sick truck driver. Nygren said the Navajo Nation EPA coordinated with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office and the Flagstaff Fire Department. The Fire Department conducted radiation scans on the truck and said that the radiation levels at the location were within safe limits."Three other uranium ore trucks at the designated inspection site were allowed to pass and continue to the White Mesa Mill, Nygren said.
Energy Fuels notified the Navajo Nation EPA at 11:40 a.m. that the fourth truck -- whose driver was sick -- returned back to the Pinyon Plain Mine, Nygren said.
Coconino County Sheriff Bret Axlund said the truck driver had "flu-like symptoms" and refused medical transport from the site. An ambulance was called to the site, just north of Flagstaff, in the area of Hwy 89 and Townsend Winona Road."Earlier, the Navajo Nation Council said President Nygren entered into a secret deal with Energy Fuels, without the knowledge or consent of the #NavajoCouncil, to allow the uranium ore trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation from the #GrandCanyon mine enroute to Utah.
"More than 500 uranium mines and scattered radioactive waste remain on the Navajo Nation, which the U.S. never cleaned up after the #coldwar, resulting in widespread cancer for Dine'."Read more:

#Radioactive #Uranium Trucks -- Slick Politicians and Easy-Chair Journalists
Endanger PublicArticle by #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, April 17, 2025
"The copy and paste journalists, and the slick politicians doing self-promotion selfies on social media, don't want the public to know the facts."This is #PinyonPlainUraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, poisoning the air, land and water in the homeland of the #Havasupai.
"The #UraniumMine is spewing out #RadioactiveDust for the world travelers who love this place, poisoning traditional medicine plants, and endangering the aquifer for future generations.
"#Navajo President #BuuNygren secretly did a deal with the owners, #EnergyFuels, to bring radioactive #uranium ore trucks through the #NavajoNation, without the #NavajoNationCouncil's knowledge.
"This agreement for radioactive trucks, shown here [at the link below], is an extreme danger for everyone on the transport route -- #Havasupai, #Paiute, #Dine', #Hopi, #Ute, and the residents of #FlagstaffAZ.
"Remote Native communities have no way to deal with radioactive spills.
"The radioactive trucks are covered only with tarps and dump their loads in the #WhiteMesaUte community in southeastern #Utah."

CALL FOR FILMS! #IndigenousFilmmakers!
#InternationalUraniumFilmFestival Returns to Window Rock in November, 2025
"Films by Indigenous and #NativeAmericanFilmmakers wanted. Send your films on #uranium or #NuclearIndustry and #RadioactiveContamination to the Window Rock Uranium Film Festival. Deadline: September 10, 2025.
"The International Uranium Film Festival (#IUFF) will return to Window Rock on November 7 and 8, 2025. This is the 4th edition of the IUFF to be held in Window Rock and will take place in cooperation with the #NewMexico #SocialJusticeAndEquity Institute at the #NavajoNation Museum.
"During these two days, the festival will present an extraordinary selection of specially curated documentaries and fiction movies about #UraniumMining and the #environmental and human consequences of the #military and civilian #nuclear industries.
"The Window Rock IUFF will focus in particular on films about Native American and Indigenous peoples around the world, particularly in North America. This is where, 80 years ago, the first atomic bomb was detonated on #Indigenous land. As a result, these lands are among those most affected by uranium mining and the nuclear industry in general.
"Until now, few Indigenous filmmakers have tackled this difficult and often hidden subject. For this reason, the organizers are dedicating an award to promote the production of Indigenous and Native American films about nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, uranium mining, and their consequences.
"The best film by an indigenous or Native American filmmaker will receive a special festival trophy in Window Rock.
"Now in its 14th year, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is dedicated to presenting films on all nuclear issues and the entire nuclear fuel chain: from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from nuclear war to nuclear accidents. This unique-in-the-world film festival - named 'One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals 2024' by MovieMaker Magazine - was founded in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro and took place for the first time in May, 2011. It has presented more than 300 films in 9 countries and more than 40 cities around the world.
"The founders and directors of the International Uranium Film Festival, Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert G. Suchanek, were recently awarded the internationally respected 2025 Nuclear Free Future Award for their work.
Film submissions are free for indigenous filmmakers and the deadline is September 20, 2025.

#Havasupai Elder #DiannaUqualla: #UraniumMining #Contamination is Here, Hold on to Your Ancestral Ways
"Stay strong, no matter what the world throws at us, we survive."
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 24, 2025
TUBA CITY, #NavajoNation -- "Havasupai Dianna Uqualla said that she brought sad news, that the contamination from the #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine is already here, and has contaminated the air and the soil. Uqualla asked for the people to rely on their prayers and ancestral ways to guide them.
"Uqualla, traditional practitioner who served as the council's vice chairwoman, spoke at the #AwarenessWalk here on Saturday, as Native people from the region gathered to shut down Pinyon Plain uranium mine, and stop the #radioactive haul trucks from the #GrandCanyon to the #UraniumMill in the #WhiteMesaUte community in #Utah.
"Uqualla said Havasupai tested the soil and air and found contamination. 'There are people that hunt, people that gather medicine, they told us we can't go there anymore, until we stop them, but they are still contaminating.'
"Havasupai never said 'Yes' to this #UraniumMining.
"The tarps are not sufficient that are covering the trucks and there are no warnings to the people."

#Havasupai Tribe Deeply Disappointed in #NavajoNation for Failing to Consult Havasupai on #Radioactive Hauling
"Shame on Energy Fuels Resources and those who were not brave enough to do what is right and necessary." -- Havasupai Tribe.
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Feb. 14, 2025
"The Havasupai Tribe said the Navajo Nation has disregarded the aboriginal people who live on the land, and failed to consult them before entering into a dangerous agreement for #radioactive #uranium hauling. There are two trucks now each weekday, traveling at high rates of speed, each carrying 24 tons of radioactive matter that is only covered with tie-down tarps from the Grand Canyon to the #UraniumMill in Utah.
"Havsuw' Baaja, Havasupai, are Guardians of the #GrandCanyon and have opposed #UraniumMining since time immemorial to protect their land and water for future generations, the Havasupai Tribe said today.
"We are deeply disappointed in #EnergyFuels Resources, Inc., and the Navajo Nation for not including us in their discussions that ultimately led to the dangerous decision to allow hauling of radioactive material across our aboriginal lands," the Havasupai Tribe said.
"The Navajo Tribe is not the only tribe or community affected by this activity."
"Our culture and traditions originate here and are knit together with who we are as individual tribal members and as a tribe."Read more:

"Who negotiated these terms?"
"Who came up with the amount of $1.2 million."
"We are still fighting the U.S. government for what happened to our people." The response from the federal government is, 'Well that happened a long time ago, that happened during World War II.'
"If we already know the effects of uranium, why are we allowing this?"
Navajo Council delegates are questioning Navajo Department of Justice, questioning the agreement by Navajo President Buu Nygren with Energy Fuels, without the Navajo Nation Council's approval.

🚨 Alert: #RadioactiveUranium Trucks on the #NavajoNation Today (2/12)
"A banner on the deadly haul route today, Wednesday, as two radioactive uranium transport trucks pass by Dine' homes in #TubaCity on the Navajo Nation. #Dine' families said they had no warning and the #NavajoGovernment sold them out."
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Feb. 12, 2025
Live and UpdatingTUBA CITY, Navajo Nation -- "#EnergyFuels #radioactive #UraniumWaste trucks passed through the Navajo Nation today, following a secretive agreement between the Navajo Nation and Energy Fuels.
"Two radioactive uranium waste trucks passed through #TubaCity headed to the uranium mill in the #WhiteMesaUte community, between 11 a.m. and noon today.
"In a region still strewn with #RadioactiveWaste from the #ColdWar, and gas and oil wells choking the people -- now uranium waste being transported by Dine' homes with only a tarp [!!!] covering tons of radioactive waste. The trucks are dumping their loads in the White Mesa #Ute community at the mill in southeastern #Utah.
"The secretive agreement between Energy Fuels and the Navajo Nation government, says there will be two to twelve trucks a day with radioactive waste from Energy Fuels #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, for the next three to four years.
"Navajo Utah Commission members voiced their opposition to the uranium transport during a meeting with Navajo Nation EPA Executive Director #StephenEtsitty in #WindowRock on Tuesday. This comes after Energy Fuels made a public announcement of the agreement with the tribe.
"The Navajo Utah Commission meeting revealed that Energy Fuels agreed to pay the Navajo Nation government $1.2 million during the negotiations. Dine' in Western Navajo said that Navajo President #BuuNygren showed them how much money their lives are worth: $1.2 million."

#NativeNations Mobilize Against #ICE Targeting and Profiling
#Native Nations across #TurtleIsland are working to ensure their citizens’ safety amid rising reports of #IndigenousPeople being #RaciallyProfiled, #stopped, #questioned, and mistakenly #detained for undocumented #immigrants. They’re also reminding their citizens to find strength and resilience in the histories their communities have already overcome.
by Luna Reyna, #UnderscoreNativeNews [#UNN] + #IndianCountryToday [#ICT]
"Tribes across the U.S. are responding to reports of Indigenous people being racially profiled, stopped, questioned and mistakenly detained by federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping immigrant crackdown.
Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said in a Jan. 24 news release that his 'office has received multiple reports from Navajo citizens that they have had negative, and sometimes traumatizing, experiences with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants in the Southwest.'
"'We now know that Navajo people and enrolled members of other tribes are being detained in Phoenix and other cities by #ICE,' Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley said during a Naabik’íyáti’ committee meeting on Jan. 23."

#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.'"Read more:
