I completely agree. In a calm, reasonable, and informed way AOC put forth the details of the situation. Her questions were and to the point. She does good and honest work.
At least someone is fighting for something that directly impacts all of us. I think government leaders should be pressured to sign a pact that they will have investigations into corporate pollution in their regions and how much those corporation's spend on lobbyist.
With repuglicans in charge of the House, they're too busy trying to prove the FBI and DOJ should be DEFUNDED because they keep picking on trump. For them, it's ALL ABOUT trump ALL THE TIME!

THANK YOU AOC for standing up for the native american people. I am very happy to see this. It is time to help all native americans not keep discriminating against them. Wado.

I think that solar and wind farms should be built on reservations (where appropriate), with members of the tribes given first shot at training and employment to install and maintain them, with other local companies that have the expertise training and supervising until the reservations have all the expertise they need to keep it going. The electricity can run everything the people need, and excess sold to the grid to fund maintenance and new projects.
The representative from the oil company almost told the truth, but then she defaulted to reading the company talking points. It’s terrible to watch someone lie for others, knowing how many Native people are impacted
capitalism by it's very nature will destroy anything that gets in the way of it's potential to make profit. So that's why we need people like AOC and Katie Porter and others who are willing to hold corporations accountable for their actions.
Capitalism brings together skills of its works to provide goods and services. That means instead of only eating what you can grow in town, you can pull peanuts from across the country, mass manufacturer noodles, and import soy from China, to eat your "soy boy brand" Thai food conveniently frozen for you in the freezer section.

The cultural heritage of indigenous people in North America needs to be respected and their treaties should be honored. Land is all they want for their continued existence but it must be usable not contaminated or deadly to live on.
It's a little late to begin honoring the treaties, but there are definitely things that can be done for the good of Native communities today with the leadership of thoughtful representatives like AOC who recognize the value of actually having Natives at the negotiating table so their voices can be heard instead of being TOLD what they want.
What are you talking about? When a private company spills a chemical they have to clean it. So if a oil company has spilled oil they are required to pay the expense to clean it up. Are you saying the oil company doesn't follow the law on Indian land?
Great job AOC! I always wonder why these types of negotiations don’t happen BEFORE the damage is done. There needs to be more power given to the individuals involved. These wealthy extraction companies are always given the “lion’s share”. 💙💙💙
Need to pressure Biden to stop drilling permits entirely as well, like the willow project, we have alternatives, we have to be more vocal, transition away from car reliant infrastructure, towards walkable biking cities with affordable housing, with trains for far distance travel, and clean energy vehicles. Highly recommend watching "Not just bikes" videos and "Adam Something," both are very good and discuss about these topics.
Have you been to a city in the USA? Do you know how long it would take to ride a bike across a city? Cars are already very clean. Trains would hugely reduce the need for people to use cars at all, but most towns/cities are afraid to properly set it up.

This is what being progressive means. Pure and simple it means working towards a solution together and fairness for everyone. Unfortunately when something goes wrong, the corporations want to slither away and close doors without consequences. They answer to greed, for themselves and their shareholders who do not give a damn about who it affects while they sip their cocktails in a luxurious setting. I say give the mineral rights back to the people of the nations and let them manage it and reap the profits for themselves.

In the 1950s, the Navajo Nation was situated directly in the uranium mining belt that experienced a boom in production, and many residents found work in the mines. Prior to 1962, the risks of lung cancer due to uranium mining were unknown to the workers, and the lack of a word for radiation in the Navajo language left the miners unaware of the associated health hazards.[1] The cultural significance of water for the Navajo people and the environmental damage to both the land and livestock inhibits the ability of the Navajo people to practice their culture.[2] The Navajo Nation was affected by the United States' largest radioactive accident during the Church Rock uranium mill spill in 1979 when a tailings pond upstream from Navajo County breached its dam and sent radioactive waste down the Puerco River, injuring people and killing livestock.[3] In the Navajo Nation, approximately 15% of people do not have access to running water.[4] Navajo Nation residents are often forced to resort to unregulated water sources that are susceptible to bacteria, fecal matter, and uranium. Extensive uranium mining in the region during the mid-20th century is a contemporary concern because of contamination of these commonly used sources, in addition to the lingering health effects of exposure from mining. Water in the Navajo Nation currently has an average of 90 micrograms per liter of uranium, with some areas reaching upwards of 700 micrograms per liter.[5] In contrast, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 30 micrograms per liter the safe amount of uranium to have in water sources.[6] Health impacts of uranium consumption include kidney damage and failure, as kidneys are unable to filter uranium out of the bloodstream.[7] There is an average rate of End Stage Renal Disease of 0.63% in the Navajo Nation, a rate significantly higher than the national average of 0.19%.[8] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been cleaning up uranium mines in the Navajo Nation since as part of settlements through the Superfund since 1994. The Abandoned Mine Land program and Contaminated Structures Program have facilitated the cleanup of mines and demolition of structures built with radioactive materials.[9] Criticisms of unfair, inefficient treatment have been made repeatedly of EPA by Navajos and journalists.[10][11][12] In October 2021, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights agreed to hear a case filed by the Eastern Navajo Diné Against Uranium Mining, which accused the United States government of violating the human rights of Navajo Nation members.[13] Shiprock, New Mexico uranium mill aerial photo History For the book published in 2006, see The Navajo People and Uranium Mining. In 1944, uranium mining under the U.S military's Manhattan Project began on Navajo Nation lands and on Lakota Nation lands. On August 1, 1946, the responsibility for atomic science and technology was transferred from the military to the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Afterward, widespread uranium mining began on Navajo and Lakota lands in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Large uranium deposits were mined on and near the Navajo Reservation in the Southwest, and these were developed through the 20th century. Absent much environmental regulation prior to the founding of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 and passage of related laws, the mining endangered thousands of Navajo workers, as well as producing contamination that has persisted in adversely affecting air and water quality, and contaminating Navajo lands. Private companies hired thousands of Navajo men to work the uranium mines. Disregarding the known health risks of exposure to uranium, the private companies and the United States Atomic Energy Commission failed to inform the Navajo workers about the dangers and to regulate the mining to minimize contamination. As more data was collected, they were slow to take appropriate action for the workers. In 1951, the U.S. Public Health Service began a human testing experiment on Navajo miners, without their informed consent, during the federal government's study of the long term health effects from radiation poisoning. In 1932, the USPHS began an earlier human testing experiment on African men in their Tuskegee syphilis experiment. The experiment on Navajo mine workers and their families documented high rates of cancers (including Xeroderma pigmentosum)[14] and other diseases which manifested from uranium mining and milling contamination. For decades, industry and the government failed to regulate or improve conditions, or inform workers of the dangers. As high rates of illness began to occur, workers were often unsuccessful in court cases seeking compensation, and the states at first did not officially recognize radon illness. In 1990, the US Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, to address cases of uranium poisoning and provide needed compensation, but Navajo Nation applicants provide evidence RECA requirements prevent access to necessary compensation. Congressional modifications to RECA application requirements were made in 2000, and were introduced in 2017 and in 2018.[15]

What is important isn’t on whose land the spill occurred, it’s that the spill happened at all and there were no consequences to the offending companies.
What do you want to happen? They don't just leave the spilled oil alone. They are required to clean it up and pay for whatever it takes to do so. Every company in the USA has to have chemical spill procedures they have to use or they get fined.

This discourse is a breath of fresh air compared to the vitriol that is spewed daily by Republican members of the House. It takes an intelligent person to speak with such clarity and stay on point.
Protecting the environment gives you the label by the federal government of an “eco-TERRORIST”. Nuff said yet?
The Oil industry and their GREAT safety records keep showing how much favor they keep getting from crooked Politicians.
Who will crooked politicians favor if we keep our focus on the matter at hand? There is a man there with garbage on his property, and a corporation responsible. I don't think you got to that part of the video. time stamp 00:00
Oh please...... and ship via rail with their stellar record? Or via truck, like now, that Warren Buffett's trucking company makes million$$$ from, to donate back to the DNC and libs. The Alaskan pipeline does have a stellar record but it was going to kill the environment by 1980!!!
@@LolUGotBusted i was being sarcastic.... Oil companies DONT have great records when it comes to safety and spills.
@@csnide6702 When you see a map of all pipelines in the USA they do have a good record. The only other way to get oil around the country is rail and trucks...and they are more susceptable to accidents/spills by several magnitudes. Not to mention the price would proably go up 30%.

At least someone is fighting for something that directly impacts all of us.
I think government leaders should be pressured to sign a pact that they will have investigations into corporate pollution in their regions and how much those corporation's spend on lobbyist.
With repuglicans in charge of the House, they're too busy trying to prove the FBI and DOJ should be DEFUNDED because they keep picking on trump. For them, it's ALL ABOUT trump ALL THE TIME! They talk about how they're working hard for the "American People", but they're working hard to prove the FBI and DOJ are picking on poor conservatives. They're counting on a RED SUNAMI like they didn't get in 2022 and they think refusing to pass any safety measures on gun control and strict anti-abortion legislation is their ticket to complete republican control of the White House, House, and Senate. Sounds like a pity pitch to me.
THANK YOU AOC for standing up for the native american people. I am very happy to see this. It is time to help all native americans not keep discriminating against them. Wado.

I think that solar and wind farms should be built on reservations (where appropriate), with members of the tribes given first shot at training and employment to install and maintain them, with other local companies that have the expertise training and supervising until the reservations have all the expertise they need to keep it going. The electricity can run everything the people need, and excess sold to the grid to fund maintenance and new projects.
How do you get electricity at night or when it's not windy?
The representative from the oil company almost told the truth, but then she defaulted to reading the company talking points. It’s terrible to watch someone lie for others, knowing how many Native people are impacted
You should run for president we need strong people like you running this country
capitalism by it's very nature will destroy anything that gets in the way of it's potential to make profit. So that's why we need people like AOC and Katie Porter and others who are willing to hold corporations accountable for their actions.
Capitalism brings together skills of its works to provide goods and services. That means instead of only eating what you can grow in town, you can pull peanuts from across the country, mass manufacturer noodles, and import soy from China, to eat your "soy boy brand" Thai food conveniently frozen for you in the freezer section.

The cultural heritage of indigenous people in North America needs to be respected and their treaties should be honored. Land is all they want for their continued existence but it must be usable not contaminated or deadly to live on.
Exactly. In truth, it's what they deserve by right and treaty.
#LandBack
It's a little late to begin honoring the treaties, but there are definitely things that can be done for the good of Native communities today with the leadership of thoughtful representatives like AOC who recognize the value of actually having Natives at the negotiating table so their voices can be heard instead of being TOLD what they want.
What are you talking about? When a private company spills a chemical they have to clean it. So if a oil company has spilled oil they are required to pay the expense to clean it up. Are you saying the oil company doesn't follow the law on Indian land?
@@moabman6803 Well, that makes 2 of us because I would certainly never say an oil company shouldn't clean up their messes, ESPECIALLY on Indian land!
Great job AOC! I always wonder why these types of negotiations don’t happen BEFORE the damage is done. There needs to be more power given to the individuals involved. These wealthy extraction companies are always given the “lion’s share”. 💙💙💙
Thank you for always standing up & fighting the good fight AOC
Need to pressure Biden to stop drilling permits entirely as well, like the willow project, we have alternatives, we have to be more vocal, transition away from car reliant infrastructure, towards walkable biking cities with affordable housing, with trains for far distance travel, and clean energy vehicles.
Highly recommend watching "Not just bikes" videos and "Adam Something," both are very good and discuss about these topics.
Have you been to a city in the USA? Do you know how long it would take to ride a bike across a city? Cars are already very clean. Trains would hugely reduce the need for people to use cars at all, but most towns/cities are afraid to properly set it up.

This is what being progressive means. Pure and simple it means working towards a solution together and fairness for everyone. Unfortunately when something goes wrong, the corporations want to slither away and close doors without consequences. They answer to greed, for themselves and their shareholders who do not give a damn about who it affects while they sip their cocktails in a luxurious setting.
I say give the mineral rights back to the people of the nations and let them manage it and reap the profits for themselves.
Thank-you AOC and to the Navajo leaders and Members for their dedication and patience. Hold the Oligarch’s to accountability of sustainability, legacy and restitution.

AOC, You rock! Thanks for your work on this and other issues!
In the 1950s, the Navajo Nation was situated directly in the uranium mining belt that experienced a boom in production, and many residents found work in the mines. Prior to 1962, the risks of lung cancer due to uranium mining were unknown to the workers, and the lack of a word for radiation in the Navajo language left the miners unaware of the associated health hazards.[1] The cultural significance of water for the Navajo people and the environmental damage to both the land and livestock inhibits the ability of the Navajo people to practice their culture.[2]
The Navajo Nation was affected by the United States' largest radioactive accident during the Church Rock uranium mill spill in 1979 when a tailings pond upstream from Navajo County breached its dam and sent radioactive waste down the Puerco River, injuring people and killing livestock.[3]
In the Navajo Nation, approximately 15% of people do not have access to running water.[4] Navajo Nation residents are often forced to resort to unregulated water sources that are susceptible to bacteria, fecal matter, and uranium. Extensive uranium mining in the region during the mid-20th century is a contemporary concern because of contamination of these commonly used sources, in addition to the lingering health effects of exposure from mining.
Water in the Navajo Nation currently has an average of 90 micrograms per liter of uranium, with some areas reaching upwards of 700 micrograms per liter.[5] In contrast, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 30 micrograms per liter the safe amount of uranium to have in water sources.[6] Health impacts of uranium consumption include kidney damage and failure, as kidneys are unable to filter uranium out of the bloodstream.[7] There is an average rate of End Stage Renal Disease of 0.63% in the Navajo Nation, a rate significantly higher than the national average of 0.19%.[8]
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been cleaning up uranium mines in the Navajo Nation since as part of settlements through the Superfund since 1994. The Abandoned Mine Land program and Contaminated Structures Program have facilitated the cleanup of mines and demolition of structures built with radioactive materials.[9] Criticisms of unfair, inefficient treatment have been made repeatedly of EPA by Navajos and journalists.[10][11][12]
In October 2021, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights agreed to hear a case filed by the Eastern Navajo Diné Against Uranium Mining, which accused the United States government of violating the human rights of Navajo Nation members.[13]

History
For the book published in 2006, see The Navajo People and Uranium Mining.
In 1944, uranium mining under the U.S military's Manhattan Project began on Navajo Nation lands and on Lakota Nation lands. On August 1, 1946, the responsibility for atomic science and technology was transferred from the military to the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Afterward, widespread uranium mining began on Navajo and Lakota lands in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Large uranium deposits were mined on and near the Navajo Reservation in the Southwest, and these were developed through the 20th century. Absent much environmental regulation prior to the founding of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 and passage of related laws, the mining endangered thousands of Navajo workers, as well as producing contamination that has persisted in adversely affecting air and water quality, and contaminating Navajo lands.
Private companies hired thousands of Navajo men to work the uranium mines. Disregarding the known health risks of exposure to uranium, the private companies and the United States Atomic Energy Commission failed to inform the Navajo workers about the dangers and to regulate the mining to minimize contamination. As more data was collected, they were slow to take appropriate action for the workers.
In 1951, the U.S. Public Health Service began a human testing experiment on Navajo miners, without their informed consent, during the federal government's study of the long term health effects from radiation poisoning. In 1932, the USPHS began an earlier human testing experiment on African men in their Tuskegee syphilis experiment. The experiment on Navajo mine workers and their families documented high rates of cancers (including Xeroderma pigmentosum)[14] and other diseases which manifested from uranium mining and milling contamination. For decades, industry and the government failed to regulate or improve conditions, or inform workers of the dangers. As high rates of illness began to occur, workers were often unsuccessful in court cases seeking compensation, and the states at first did not officially recognize radon illness. In 1990, the US Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, to address cases of uranium poisoning and provide needed compensation, but Navajo Nation applicants provide evidence RECA requirements prevent access to necessary compensation. Congressional modifications to RECA application requirements were made in 2000, and were introduced in 2017 and in 2018.[15]
Thank you for actually saying something
Build a pipeline inside a pipeline with every 50 feet a frame connection to the next section of pipe with shut off valve in casing! Pipe would have sensors that would shut off pipe in that 50 foot connection! 50 feet is the length a truck trailer can haul pipe plus get rid of onsite welding! Inspect factory pipe more precisely But quit building over drinking water supply! Of course oil and gas will BALK at the cost! Then Drill off of GOP Florida let's the see how they like it instead jamming a pipeline in our backyard while refusing to curb their addiction or contribute to our supply!!
