Native American Homes Without Heat This Winter – Eco-Left Is AWOL

Native American Homes Without Heat This Winter – Eco-Left Is AWOL

January 14, 2020

The Kayenta coal mine closure is leaving behind devastating impacts for Native American families including going without heat during the winter. The response from the eco-left? Nothing.

This heartbreaking report tells how Native American families are fighting to stay warm after their supply of coal was cut off. Here are just a few examples of the hardships being endured:

“There are people that are living with extreme housing disparities, with major holes in their roofs, with cardboard windows,  that… are at a real risk for freezing to death.”

“I’m having to get up twice a night to check the fire, make sure it’s still going. I’m having to chop wood beforehand, in the morning, in the evening.”

“…some of them are burning their clothes now. They’re burning weeds … It kills me to not be able to help. However I only service this village.”

Radical environmental groups fought against the mine and its associated power plant for years. Now that both are closed and families are dealing with the devastating consequences, those environmental groups are nowhere to be found.
