Attempted mesa reconstruction within the Jackpile Mine site. Jackpile was the largest open pit uranium mine from the 1950s to the 1980s. Its placement on the Super Fund National Priorities List indicate the depth of legacy remediation issues that remain, Laguna Pueblo, Photo by Chris Taylor.
Given current COVID conditions our day with Curtis Francisco to gain greater understanding of Laguna Pueblo culture and how it has been effected by the Jackpile Mine was adapted to operate remotely. Keeping vunerable communities safe as we travel is a priority made stronger by top shelf masks from our key supporter. Solidarity for traveling into the field to connect with people remotely, Laguna Pueblo, Photo by Chris Taylor.
