T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍he discussion for this week raises a question we hear over

T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍he discussion for this week raises a question we hear over and over again – should the environment take precedence over the immediate economic needs of a community or the nation? With this dilemma in mind answer the following: Is mining uranium on Native lands really environmental racism? Doesn’t the mining work provide jobs and extract a product we need for our national security? How do you respond to Native Americans who have their own thoughts about environmental ethics and their own unique indigenous ecology (as covered in this week’s materials)? Do some ethical considerations override others in this case? Attached is the t‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍extbook with readings on this topic.
