Nuclear Free Great Basin
Fall Gathering – Oct. 8-10th 2004
Skull Valley Goshute Reservation, Utah

Private Fuel Storage (PFS) wants to site a “temporary” above ground nuclear waste dump for over 40,000 metric tons of high-level nuclear waste on the ancestral and Reservation land of the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians. The Reservation is located about 45 miles South-west of Salt Lake City, Utah.

This proposed project continues to enflame controversy within the Skull Valley Band of Goshutes, and between various governmental and citizen non-governmental entities.

This issue is at critical stage. At the request of Margene Bullcreek, a Goshute activist, and Corbin Harney, Western Shoshone Spiritual Leader, Nuclear Activist and founder of The Shundahai Network, and the Shundahai Network Board, and staff have begun preparation for 3 days of events in Skull Valley October 8-10th 2004. The purpose of these events is to educate, to demonstrate opposition to this project and to give concerned interests an opportunity to offer public testimony on this issue.

Please join us at the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation to support Margene Bullcreek and all those who oppose the Private Fuel Storage nuclear waste dump site on the Goshute Reservation. We will hear presentations by Indigenous speakers, including Corbin Harney, Margene Bullcreek and other groups working on these issues.

During the 3 days there will be many events, including:
Traditional Sunrise Ceremonies, by Corbin Harney
Sweat Lodges open to all persons (there are certain protocols for sweat lodges and ceremonies, if you are unsure of what these are, please ask an organizer when you arrive at the site.).
People’s Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearing
Traditional Native Dancers
A Benefit concert by David Rovics
A raffle with lots of great items to win
And much, much more!
