Book excerpt: Annotation: This thesis discusses environmental justice in relation to nuclearism and how it affects Native American populations in the American West. The author notes that Native Americans inhabit a spiritual landscape in the American west, and these homelands are the birthing place of nuclearism and all of its processes. In speaking of nuclearism and environmental degradation, Herman Agoyo of San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico, asked, "Who here will begin this story?" Agoyo and other Native Americans are beginning to tell the story of what it is to have the nuclear industry and its processes in ones' homeland. The author states that nuclear fuel chain and U.S. energy policy of the 20th century shows itself to be the destruction of the Americas, with the development of nuclearism as World War III. However, the author argues that western ecological foundation is evolving, from manifest destiny to Earth First, to transform a culture of violence to a culture of peace.
