from Unicorn Riot
On Oct. 12, members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe held their annual spiritual walk opposing the White Mesa Uranium Mill in Southern Utah.
The mill, which processes uranium and other substances, sits on sacred land just north of the tribe’s reservation boundary and is the only one of its kind in the U.S.
Local organizers with White Mesa Concerned Community and their supporters organize the walk each year to raise awareness about the mill and demand it be shut down and cleaned up.
Participants rallied before walking five miles to the mill site. Unicorn Riot heard from participants and organizers along the route.
