The board of managers has been enjoying a well deserved rest after a very busy fall. Meetings resume in February; and spring will be both busy and exciting as we prepare for our March luncheon, annual meeting in April, scholars’ picnic in May, goody bags and special recognition of our graduating seniors. Fall began with the Scholars’ Tea. For the first time in many years this was held at Stewart House thanks to our gracious hostess, Jacqueline Lundquist, wife of President Richard Celeste. Their beautiful home added such elegance to this affair welcoming back returning scholars and introducing the new freshman scholars. The fall luncheon was sold out due to the great interest in speaker Jim Enderson, an expert and author on peregrine falcons and husband of Board of Managers member Betty Enderson. The fall picnic was held on a warm and picture-perfect Colorado day. We had good attendance by our scholars and board members and were able to enjoy getting acquainted in the home and yard of board member Pam Marsh. Throughout the fall, mentors have kept in contact with their scholars and offered any support and help they needed. Most impressive is what has been done by the Fundraising/Projects Committee. They began September with the annual tour of the original Van Briggle pottery. Dr. Marianne Stoller also conducted another southwest tour in September. She will be offering a “Red Rocks and Ruins” tour of southeast Utah in early May, 2006, and a tour of the Pacific northwest will be in late September and early October, 2006. I strongly urge you to attend either or both of these informative and entertaining tours. Dr. Stoller’s dedication to the scholars has netted funds well in excess of her original goal of $10,000, and we still have two trips to go! In October, we held a silent auction of donated original art during Homecoming. Daisy McConnell of Colorado College gave invaluable assistance in soliciting art and organizing this event. At the October luncheon we had several venders with a wide variety of handmade items, and many of us got an early start on Christmas shopping. The hard work of this committee and all the other board members who donated time to staff these events has been amazing. During the course of this year the board has been taking a good, hard look at itself and how we function. We felt it was time to determine if things we have been doing for a long time should continue just because “we’ve always done it this way.” While few changes have been made, we feel more comfortable with what we are doing. We are also continuing to look at the problems created by the irrevocable trust and have set in motion several things that may help to solve this issue. We will keep all of you informed on the progress we make with this ongoing concern. I hope to see many of you at our events this spring. Bring a friend! As college costs continue to rise, WES also needs to increase its membership if we are to continue supporting our scholars at the current level. What we do has made such a difference in the lives of so many remarkable young women. Please help us to continue this extraordinary tradition. —Linda Hall, President 2 11 Scholar Update, Continued from front page constant care and place in her life.” She says that being a WES of helping me grow as a person and a scholar.

  • The Legacy of Uranium Development on Or Near Indian Reservations and Health Implications Rekindling Public Awareness

Box 173480, Bozeman, MT 59717, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +1-406-587-9769 Academic Editors: Jose A. Centeno, Robert B. Finkelman and Olle Selinus Received: 1 January 2015 / Accepted: 26 January 2015 / Published: 3 February 2015 Abstract: Uranium occurrence and development has left a legacy of long-lived health effects for many Native Americans and Alaska Natives in the United States. Some Native American communities have been impacted by processing and development while others are living with naturally occurring sources of uranium. The uranium production peak spanned from approximately 1948 to the 1980s. Thousands of mines, mainly on the Colorado Plateau, were developed in the western U.S. during the uranium boom. Many of these mines were abandoned and have not been reclaimed. Native Americans in the Colorado Plateau area including the Navajo, Southern Ute, Ute Mountain, Hopi, Zuni, Laguna, Acoma, and several other Pueblo nations, with their intimate knowledge of the land, often led miners to uranium resources during this exploration boom. As a result of the mining activity many Indian Nations residing near areas of mining or milling have had and continue to have their health compromised. This short review aims to rekindle the public awareness of the plight of Native American communities living with the legacy of uranium procurement, including mining, milling, down winders, nuclear weapon development and long term nuclear waste storage.

The Pueblo of Laguna and the Pueblo of Jemez (together “the Pueblos”) are both federally recognized tribes that have resided on lands now within the state of New Mexico since time immemorial. 2. For both Pueblos, waters that flow through their lands are necessary for domestic and agricultural uses. Such waters are also essential for cultural and ceremonial practices. The Pueblo of Laguna depends on clean water for irrigation and domestic purposes, and its traditions include ceremonial practices in which members of the Pueblo consume water. The Pueblo of Jemez likewise utilizes clean water for agriculture and domestic purposes, and its water supports Case 1:21-cv-00277-JFR-KK Document 1 Filed 03/26/21 Page 2 of 65 uses including ceremonial and cultural practices, hunting and fishing, as well as domestic, municipal, commercial, and industrial uses. 3.
