FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2003 The Diné Bidzill coalition, a collection of Navajo activist groups, will hold a conference July 19 against uranium mining. Uranium mining doesn't currently occur on the reservation but the health and environmental effects linger. Coalition leaders say a proposal to restart mining is a real threat to Navajo people. Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. said the tribe would not support new mining. Get the Story:
