"We purpose in our hearts to open the eyes of our understanding to uranium mining devastation on indigenous lands. Yes, we want a better life, but not at the expense of our land. Yes, our land and nearby lands are rich in minerals like uranium but our beautiful clear, pure water, air and land are much more valuable than these. We desire that our water, plants, animals, fish, waterfowl, insects, sea mammals, our seven generation Inupiat/Yupik culture to be protected and preserved. Therefore we take a stand and voice our opposition to uranium mining near or on our land."

We are educating ourselves and others about the environmental, health, and cultural impacts on uranium mining and its impact to us.  We are actively protesting against against uranium mining in our region.  Our youth are leading the way to awareness of uranium devastation on or near our land.  We have the support of our tribal council, our parents and whole community.  We believe our youth are bringing healing to our Inupiat/Yupik nation.  We strongly believe nothing will be done without First Nations voice on issues that affect us. 


We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all who support us and who will continue to.  Please email or call us if we can assist you in any way or if you want to assist us.
