Paper long abstract:
I have been working with the indigenous people of the United States well over five decades. They have been exploited by both the State and the national and multi -national corporations everywhere. But since the UN declaration of their rights, they have been active in demanding the protection and preservation of their natural resources and cultural heritage. My paper will be devoted a discussion of two case studies of the Navajo and the Zuni struggles involving mining of coal, uranium and other minerals by the national and multi-national corporations, with the full support of the state. It will rely on my own fieldwork, expert testimony and use of archival material.
