Turbulent Rio Puerco floods Navajo sheep herders near Churchrock

In July 1979 a dam at United Nuclear Corp released millions of gallons of radioactive waste into the Rio Puerco. Navajo grandmothers preparing to move sheep crossed the swollen river unaware of the danger. Anna Bordon recalls hiking near New Mexico Highway 566, recalling the dam’s location 32 years prior. The Rondon Navajo Nation Energy Economy Tribal Outreach director joined a group of environmental advocates amid the incident.
