President issues executive order to enforce laws to ban irresponsible, unsafe transport of material across

By Navajo President Buu Nygren,
July 31, 2024

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – "Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren today issued an executive order to require an agreement be in place prior to the transport of radioactive material through the Navajo Nation.

"The executive order will be in effect for the next six months.
'This was much needed,' the President said. 'We’re taking this stance of interpreting and executing the law to ensure the safety of our people and respect for Navajo . It’s our job as the executive branch to enforce these laws.'

"Citing the Navajo Nation Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005 and the Navajo Nation’s 2012 Radioactive and Related Substances, Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act, he said Navajo laws regarding the transportation of radioactive materials have been in place for well over a decade.

"'We’re a land of laws,' President Nygren said. 'As the executive branch, as the President of the Navajo Nation, we’re here to enforce these laws to make sure nobody’s breaking these laws.'

"Yesterday, , Inc., owner of the south of Grand Canyon did not provide notice to Navajo Nation officials of the transport of and estimated 50 tons of mine ore through the heart of the Navajo Nation.

"The company’s failure to seek approval from the Navajo Nation for the transport of radioactive materials across its land disregards the Nation’s governmental authority and sovereignty, President Nygren said.

"'If you’re going to smuggle uranium into our borders and across our Nation and outside, that’s pretty much illegal,' he said. 'I’m very disappointed that this is happening in this day and age.'"
