Description
Charges that the U.S. government recruited the Navajo people to work in uranium mines in the Four Corners region of the country from the 1930s to the 1960s, knowing the dangers the workers faced, and discusses how the uranium contamination affected the land, water, animals, and people of the tribe, including cancer and birth defects.
