One Mother Earth, one doctor water: A story about environmental justice in the age of nuclearism. A Native American view

Native Americans inhabit a spiritual landscape in the American west. These Native American homelands are the birthing place of nuclearism and all of its processes. In speaking of nuclearism and environmental degradation, Herman Agoyo of San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico, asked, "Who here will begin this story?"; Agoyo and other Native Americans are beginning to tell the story of what it is to have the nuclear industry and its processes in ones' homeland. Kaa Fedeh, Fiona O'Brien, Dena Anima, and members of Tewa Women United (northern Tewa, New Mexico) tell the history of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. Tewa Women United is a grassroots organization working together to bring social justice to communities faced with the waste and affect of nuclear bomb work.; The Serpent Moving West, known as Yucca Mountain, the Nevada Test Site, Nevada, and dumpsites for weapons of mass destruction, such as chemical and biological agents are in Newe Sogobia, Western Shoshone homeland. Corbin Harney, spiritual leader of the Western Shoshone, Steven Crum, Western Shoshone historian, and Margene Bullcreek, Skull Valley Goshute, explain the history of the land and the people. Harney founded Shundahai Network , and Bullcreek organized Ohngo Gandadeh Devia Awareness , two organizations working for peace and environmental justice in Nevada and Utah.; Indigenous historic actions for Mother Earth occur from 1546 to 2002. Mr. and Mrs. Na'ashq'ii dich'izhii, Navajo code talker, speak of homeland when saying, "Mother Earth is our main purpose."; The nuclear fuel chain and U.S. energy policy of the 20th century shows itself to be the destruction of the Americas, with the development of nuclearism as World War III. However, the western ecological foundation is evolving, from manifest destiny to Earth First, to transform a culture of violence to a culture of peace.
