"He's singing songs to his sister Sinead, to his children and one that he wrote as an 11-year-old boy - a song that brings up the idea of singing into a beer and how someone's skin looks like that of a heifer. He sounds solemn and intent on finally reaching some of the answers that he's been seeking out for so many long years."

Mr. Churchill
Over the last year I have become increasingly interested in Indigenous Activism and Self Determination. I am a history major at the University of Texas in Arlington and my attention to this subject arose from a research paper last fall on The Trail of Broken Treaties and the Occupation of the BIA, 1972. This summer I am going to submit a paper to the Virginia Military Institute in a contest dealing with any military aspect of the Cold War. I am interested in nuclear testing, its effects on natives, and native miners small role in the eventual "American Victory" of the standoff as a direct result of nuclear superiority and furthermore, the exposure of Native Americans to radiation in the quest for said superiority. I have found some material on Navajo uranium miners and the RECA (1990) but am looking for more information on government/military exploitation (as i am sure there must be) of native groups as miners, subjects of radiation testing, and land rights pertaining to nuclear testing during the cold war era. I have found that research in these areas in difficult because we all know who write the history books and I could really use suggestions for reading and research. If you know of anything pertaining to this issue a response would be greatly appreciated. I understand you are busy, and will be seeking council from my own professors as well, but I really thought "what the fuck... ill just ask Ward Churchill."
