De Vore, Cherie L.
"Chemical interactions and mobility of uranium near abandoned mine wastes at Rio Paguate, Laguna New Mexico."
Cherie Devore shared her research about dust mobility and contaminated Land On Laguna Pueblo as well as Old Mine Sites . She talked about specific plants and stream beds that were contaminated with (u) Uranium concentration. It opened my eyes a lot considering I hunt and like to travel near these areas . Tamirax and Cedar roots carried (u) concentration 3 miles downstream from the mine . She compared data from a timeline of 50 years showing that Uranium contamination and concentration is just as bad as it was when the mine closed for good.
Lorenzo, June. "Gendered Impacts of Jackpile Uranium Mining on Laguna Pueblo."
This article talked about how the mine disrupted many lives changing them from the "Native" way of life a more to a more modern"White" man version of way. These new experiences and change brought out bad habits that influenced on our people. Not too far from the village of a Pagaute is a bar that operates on spanish land surrounding the Paguate area, this bar became a daily stop to many workers who were both native and non-natives. This bar allowed Miners to cash their pay check and was close to home ,making it a one stop shop for their needs.
