WHITE MESA, Utah — A few miles from Michael Badback’s home are springs bubbling from the brown soil of southeast Utah.
“And we used to cut sumac bushes,” he added, “they [would] make baskets and they used to come and collect sumac berries to make porridge for everybody to drink.”Badback lives in the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe hamlet of White Mesa. The tribe used to drink out of the springs, but in recent years, they’ve been told it has contaminants. The nearby trees are also bearing less fruits and berries, sending tribal members farther to find native fruits and natural medicines.
“Like a real strong chemical smell. It's more like a metal-type thing,” she added. “They keep telling us everything's okay, but apparently everybody here in our community ... [doesn't] trust it.” “So that’s indirect impact to tribal culture and community there because of fear about the mill,” Clow said.
