Navajo Nation won't allow transport of uranium across ranch
Posted: Tuesday, May 28, 2013
The Navajo Nation won't allow the transport of uranium through a ranch the tribe owns in Arizona, the Associated Press reports.
The Big Boquillas Ranch surrounds a site on state-owned land that could be used for uranium development. The tribe said it won't grant access if that happens.
“We have no intention of allowing them to cross Navajo lands unless they have appropriate access rights,” Navajo Deputy Attorney General Dana Bobroff told the AP.
The ranch is not part of the reservation but the tribe has banned uranium mining on its lands.
