Exxon and Peabody Coal under probe for climate change lies and inflating worth
Southern Arizona continues to receive its electricity from Peabody Coal as it feeds the Navajo Generating Station, located on the Navajo Nation, one of the dirtiest coal fired power plants in the world.
As it spews its dark haze of pollution over the Grand Canyon region, Navajos and other residents suffer from the resulting diseases and death.
Peabody Coal mines on Black Mesa were the real reason for the so-called Land Dispute resulting in more than 14,000 Navajos relocated from their homeland.
Today Navajos resisting relocation remain on Black Mesa.
Brenda Norrell has been a news reporter in Indian country for 29 years, serving as a writer for Navajo Times and a stringer for AP and USA Today during the 18 years she lived on the Navajo Nation. After being a longtime staff reporter for Indian Country Today, she was censored and terminated. She then created Censored News, focused on Indigenous Peoples and human rights, now in its fifth year.
