The first test of the atomic bomb at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/whsa\/learn\/historyculture\/trinity-site.htm\">Trinity site<\/a> in New Mexico, and the subsequent use of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, signaled the U.S. Government\u2019s new push to develop nuclear weapons, fueled by millions of tons of uranium ore mined near Native land in New Mexico and Arizona. \r\n<p><\/p>\r\nAnd ongoing nuclear tests exposed thousands of Native people in the Southwest and in Alaska to dangerous levels of radiation. Tune in to explore the ongoing effects on Native people of nuclear weapons and power development.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2025\/08\/06\/native-america-calling-paying-the-price-for-80-years-of-nuclear-development\/trinitysite-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-186253\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1535\" data-attachment-id=\"186253\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2025\/08\/13\/native-america-calling-paying-the-price-for-80-years-of-nuclear-development\/trinitysite-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/06\/trinitysite.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1535\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"Trinity Site\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Trinity Site&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The Trinity Site in southern New Mexico was the location of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon.
