"In the Valley of the Shadow"
This article examines the crisis facing the Goshute tribe of New Mexico, whose paltry government-allotted land lies surrounded by Superfund sites, toxic waste dumps, polluted factories, chemical weapons manufacturers and soon - quite possibly - "virtually the entire stock of high-level radioactive waste that has been produced by America's 128 commercial nuclear power plants." In the face of heated opposition from Utah lawmakers, environmentalists and "anybody without a vested interest in the project," the biggest proponents of a nuclear waste dump on their land are the Goshute Indians themselves.
