I spoke with Mark Mitchell, the former governor of the Pueblo of Tesuque (who was speaking on behalf of Gov. Milton Herrera, as his designee) about the proposed project and the nuclear weapons laboratory. We also talked about something I can be a little obsessed with \u2014 tribal consultation*.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under federal law, federal agencies are required to have government-to-government consultation with tribes about projects that impact their lands, waters, people, and sacred sites.&nbsp;You can watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mFI4Rrv5LpM?si=7bKpszT8aB6j8saU\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">full conversation with former governor Mark Mitchell on YouTube<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DARLl3-gtPO\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">short clip on Instagram<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the same show, historian Hilario Romero and Santa Fe County Commissioner Anna Hansen also voiced opposition to the new transmission line. They spoke about the National Environmental Policy Act process, the public comment process, the lab\u2019s impact on communities, and more. Again, you can watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/RxHuymH10cI?si=R0F5sYEBkDkv9qxJ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">full conversation on YouTube<\/a>, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DARTew2P8x4\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">snippet on Instagram<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we can all ponder something that Hilario Romero said. \u201cThey need to be doing more work that solves human problems. &#8230;to me, the human condition is more important than anything.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Then, coming up this week, you can watch a conversation with Edith Hood and Teracita Keyanna from the Red Water Pond Road Community Association.<\/strong> They talk about the impacts of uranium mining on their community, and their hopes for the future.
