The Challenges
![Page 4: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Challenges: Abandoned Uranium Mines
![Page 5: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Challenges: Local water sources contaminated
![Page 6: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Challenges: The Black Falls Community
![Page 7: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Challenges: Unsafe transportation and storage of water
![Page 8: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Challenges: The Bennett Freeze
![Page 9: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Challenges: Achieving Environmental Justice
“If a fraction of the deadly contamination the Navajos live with every day had been in Beverly Hills or any wealthy community, it would have been cleaned up immediately. But there's a different standard applied to the Navajo land... while time passes, people get sick, people die, people develop kidney disease, children, babies are born with birth defects, bone cancer develops and gets worse, lung cancer, leukemia, while we wait”
US Senator Henry Waxman, 2007
![Page 10: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Challenges: The Government Response
• EPA pressured by Congress to address uranium contamination of water supplies in Navajo Nation
• Plans to address issue were based on extending water pipelines to families near roads
• 3-meter per mile rule: no plans to assist people in remote locations
![Page 11: Assisting the Water Haulers: Using Grassroots Driven Development to Secure Environmental Justice Forgotten People CDC Rita Sebastian Capacity Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f415503460f94c60b6d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Challenges Addressed by this Project
• Target population: Families too remote for pipeline who will continue to haul water
• Short-term goal: Provide safe way to haul, store, & access water
• Long-term goal: Provide full sanitation system• Interlinkage: Address health problems and
other consequences of uranium contamination

Internal Participation: Key Points
• The true measure of success of a grassroots organization is not whether it accomplishes its mission statement, but rather the extent to which it creates a meaningful participatory experience that enriches the lives of the people.
• This is also the best way to achieve the mission statement.

“It is essential for the oppressed to realize that when they accept the struggle for humanization they also accept, from that moment, their total responsibility for the struggle" .
Paolo Freire, 1970

“In traditional Navajo society, everyone was equal. In fact, the idea of someone with power and authority making decisions for others isentirely contrary to Navajo morals. We believe in a high degree of freedom, but we call it "freedom with responsibility”
Robert Yazzie, 1997

External participation: Key points
• The people made the partnerships work effectively by adopting a solutions-based approach instead of needs-based.
• The participatory approach helped our partners achieve their mandates, and helped the community achieve its goals.
