"In defiance of legal challenges and a US government moratorium, Canadian company Denison Mines has started mining uranium on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is ancestral homeland of the Havasupai and Hualapi Nations. Although both Indigenous nations have banned uranium mining on their reservations, the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management may permit thousands of mining claims on surrounding lands. Denison plans on extracting 335 tons of uranium ore per day out of the 'Arizona 1 Mine'.
