A. If you believe that the water in Flint, Michigan is bad, the water on Native American reservations is even worst. For example, Navajo water supply is more horrific than Flint, but no one cares because they’re “Native Americans” says FirstAmericans.com. According to Natives Daily, “In the western U.S., water contamination has been a way of life for many tribes”. The advocacy group “Clean Up The Mines!” describes the situation in Navajo country as being far worse than in Flint, Michigan. The latest assault was carried out by the massive toxic spills into the Animas and San Juan Rivers when the EPA recklessly attempted to address the abandoned Gold King mine. There is no comprehensive law requiring cleanup of abandoned uranium mines, meaning corporations and government can walk away from them after exploiting their resources. Seventy-five percent of abandoned uranium mines are on federal and tribal lands, and the risks of drinking water contamination are real and significant!
