About the Item

This piece is part of Will Wilson's ambitious ongoing project 'Connecting the Dots: For a Just Transition'. This project reckons with the deleterious, enduring effects of uranium mining on and around Dinétah (the Navajo Nation). Grounded in a photographic survey documenting the over five hundred abandoned uranium mines (AUM) in the region, this series illuminates the existence of AUMS—sometimes mere miles away from famous landmarks such as Monument Valley and Shiprock—to ultimately explore possibilities of remediation. This work is opens doors for understanding and contending with the legacy of mining, among other forms of harmful land use, on Indigenous soil.
