This story is awful, not poorly written but awfully sad. It is about even more Native American deaths caused by the American government that have hardly been accounted for. Many Native Americans died due to complications stemming from working at the Colorado uranium mines. The survivors, who waited 20 long years to receive any type of compensation then went through a lot of paperwork (which they may not have been educated enough to understand). Of the 300 claims approved 54 were Navajo.
This is another story about the American government barely being held accountable for the atrocities of its past. Sure these thing have happened a very long time ago in some instances, but wouldn't it be better to own up to this kind of thing and spend money trying to fix the problem you created.
The only survivors in this story are the mistreated ex-workers and the people who lost their loved ones.
