Very interesting video by Tenner films

THE YELLOW MONSTER(14 Mins) dir. Vicki Lesley
"Through the experiences of 3 ordinary people, we examine the way the Navajo Indians have been treated by the uranium industry over the last 6 decades, uncovering a culture of secrecy, environmental pollution and lasting health impacts. While the Navajos continue to fight for recognition of the legacy of the past, a new generation of mining now looms over them as the nuclear industry seeks to reassert itself as a clean energy source for the 21st century".

to anyone whom my be interested in you and my health ,may i wish to say that this is inapropreiate.

I am a student at oromocto high school and i am fourteen and i find this is an important issue that does not only conceren me since i am faced to living so near to the uranium mining but since the radioative substances that this mining shall produce shall travel through air and effect you and your family.

Small childeren are much more vanerable to this and this should be our biggest priority.I am muchly concerened for my families health and for the small community of hoyt and its sorroundings in which people have liveed and my be faced to the fact of moving so they do not have to be faced with futer health prblems this may cause.i think that sine i am so concerended and i am just fourteen and that i find that what the people trying to fight agianst this are amazing then others should also.

please consider what you could do to help and to help yourself. we pay to live on a land called free though we may not have the choice to face this problem,this choice has been made withpout us having a saying so please help and support us

Thank you for your comment. I think it is very important for us to listen to our young people...after all, they are the individuals that will have to deal with our decisions.
