Environmental activists, Navajo and Havasupai tribal members are protesting the transportation of uranium ore through the Navajo Nation .
Pinyon Plain mine is one of the first uranium mines to open in years as the US works to boost its nuclear arsenal and energy supply.
The company that owns and operates the mine has begun transporting dozens of tons of uranium across Navajo Nation without alerting the nation’s leadership.
The move is an illegal violation of laws that prohibit uranium shipping on its land.
Arizona ’s governor, Katie Hobbs , also asked Energy Fuels to halt shipments for the foreseeable future.
“Anyone bringing those substances onto the Nation should undertake that activity with respect and sensitivity to the psychological impact to our people, as well as the trauma of uranium development that our community continues to live with every day ,” said Ethel Branch , attorney general for the Navajo Nation , in a statement on Wednesday .
