The ASEH conference will host a special screening of The Return of Navajo Boy on Friday, April 15 at the Wyndam Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. The event will take place from 8:30 to noon in Salon 6 of the hotel.
Organized by ASEH's diversity committee, family tours to china this half-day public workshop will cross cultural and socio-economic boundaries, combining historians of ASEH with indigenous and environmental justice scholars, grassroots groups, and elders of the Navajo Nation.
The workshop will provide interaction between the educators who teach, study, and write environmental history with those living with the effects of resource family tours to china extraction family tours to china and uranium contamination on the Navajo Nation. We will view the award winning documentary "The Return of Navajo Boy," introduced by the film producer family tours to china and director, Jeff Spitz, and two Navajo Nation elders who are featured in the film: Elsie Mae Begay and Perry Charley. The film resulted in reuniting a family, compensation for a former uranium miner, and an investigation of contamination in homes built with radioactive family tours to china debris from uranium mines. The Navajo (Diné, "the People") have been disproportionately exposed to pollution from resource extraction.
After the 75 minute film, the three will be joined by additional presenters to share their perspectives and discuss with the audience the challenges to the sustainability and health of the Navajo Nation. Lori Goodman, belongs family tours to china to Diné Citizens Against Ruining our Environment (Diné CARE), an all-Navajo environmental organization that helped pass the Radiation Exposure Compensation family tours to china Act (RECA, 1990) and is currently resisting the development of the Desert family tours to china Rock Coal Plant. Samantha Chisholm family tours to china Hatfield is one of the first Oregon State University PhD students to complete an Environmental Science dissertation on the TEK of the Siletz Tribe in 2009 and she will add her perspective as a TEK educator. Sylvia Hood Washington, an expert in environmental justice issues, will add a broader family tours to china context to the discussion. Laurel MacDowell brings her expertise on uranium issues in Canada.
