Climate change has sparked a move toward renewable energy, like nuclear power. But some Indigenous communities in the West are dealing with a troubling nuclear legacy – cancers caused by atomic testing and uranium mining. They want Congress to revive a law that provided money for screening and medical care.
Our Living Lands is a five-minute, weekly segment focused on climate change’s impact on Indigenous communities across the country. The program highlights the wide-ranging impact of climate change – and shares potential solutions for addressing these problems.
Our Living Lands is a collaboration of the Mountain West News Bureau, Koahnic Broadcast Corporation, and Native Public Media.
