American Indian Writers Committee of the Consolidated Group of Tribes and Organizations Tribal Narrative for the Nevada Test Site

The Greater than Class C (GTCC) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluated the potential impacts from the construction and operation of a new facility or facilities, or use of an existing facility, employing various disposal methods (geologic repository, intermediate depth borehole, enhanced near surface trench, and above grade vault) at six federal sites and generic commercial locations. For three of the locations being considered as possible locations, consulting tribes were brought in to comment on their perceptions on how GTCC low level radioactive waste would affect Native American resources (land, water, air, plants, animals, archaeology, etc.) short and long term. The consulting tribes produced essays that were incorporated into the EIS and these essays are in turn included in this collection. This essay was produced by the Consolidated Group of Tribes and Organizations (CGTO) for the Nevada Test Site. The CGTO is a pan-Indian organization representing 17 tribes from California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
