    3/14/2013 Forgotten People Statement of Solidarity with the Havasupai Tribe

    Forgotten People on the Navajo Nation Stands in Solidarity with the Havasupai tribe and

    supports your suit with Grand Canyon Trust, Center for Biological Diversity and Sierra Club to

    oppose the US Forest Service March 7th decision to allow Energy Fuels Resources, Inc. to begin

    operating Canyon mine, a uranium mine about six miles from the south rim of the GrandCanyon.

    Forgotten People believes the U.S. Forest Service has an obligation to consult with the

    Havasupai tribe and update a 1986 federal environmental review of the Canyon Mine that

    threatens cultural values, wildlife, endangered species and increases the risk of adverse public

    health, Cancer, contamination of the environment , ground water and drinking water. Visitors

    come to the Grand Canyon from around the world. Your actions will affect the whole world.

    Forgotten People says No uranium mining in Grand Canyon!

    Respectfully submitted,Bonnie Whitesinger, President

    Mary Lane, Vice-President

    Lucy Knorr, Secy/Treasurer

    And the Members of Forgotten People
