Host Taylor Weech talks with SHAWL (Sovereignty, Health, Air, Water and Land) Society founder, Spokane tribal member, and longtime activist Deb Abrahamson about the decades-long struggle to clean up the Superfund site at the former uranium mine, Midnite Mine on the Spokane Indian Reservation. The latest chapter of this struggle is unfolding now as the Newmont Mining Co. argues with the EPA that the cleanup standards should be lowered.

A community meeting will be held Tuesday, February 26th from 6-8 PM at the EWU Center at 668 N Riverpoint Blvd Ste A in Spokane, WA.
