This show from the archives 'Uranium Mill Protest on Native American Land' features recordings from the Ute Mountain Ute Native American protest against the White Mesa Uranium Mill on their land from April 2017. Presenter KA Garlick interviews White Mesa Community Leaders Priscellna Rabbit and Ephraim Dutchie, an attorney Marie Ann Tapp and Dinah women Leona Morgan.  

White Mesa Uranium Mill is the US only operating uranium mill and is causing serious environmental contamination and impacting the health of the community. The company operating the mill Energy Fuels is collaborating with Astron Corporation to extract rare earth and mineral sands from the Wimmera region, 300 kilometres from Melbourne in Victoria. The ore will undergo some processing on site before being shipped to the United States where uranium will also be extracted from the ore, making the Donald mine a source of a commercial quantity of uranium for the first time in Victoria's history, despite a state ban on uranium mining.
