Category Resistance – 2008

The resistance to uranium mining shaped Manuel Pino’s life. He grew up near the Jackpile-Paguate Mine, America’s largest uranium ore mining day tree. He made the destructive impact of open pit uranium mining on Native American culture the subject of his dissertation and gave a loud voice to the victims of the uranium boom at the World Uranium Hearing and at many conferences.
