For decades, the Havasupai Tribe has voiced its opposition against the operation of Pinyon Plain Mine, a uranium mine located about 10 miles south of the Grand Canyon. 'As the Havasupai Tribe, we have stood strong continuing the protection of the natural resources in and around the Grand Canyon region,' Havasupai Vice-Chairman Edmond Tilousi said in a written statement. The Havasupai Tribe and several conservation groups have opposed this mine for years and were even involved in a lengthy legal battle that sought to close the mine, but a federal judge ruled in the mine's favor in 2020.
