 * This information is already touched on in the article, but I will use this source to provide more background leading in to talking more about the cultural and lifestyle effects water contamination has on the Navajo people. It is from the EPA, a government website, which tends to leave out negative details regarding the water quality on the Navajo Nation, but this article has the basic facts of the situation, which is all I will need.

 * This is an update on the health of Navjo people by the NEC, which I will use to talk about how they are already at high risk due to living in a food desert and have higher rates of diabetes. This makes it so they are further immonocompromised and more vulnerable to the side effects of radiation exposure, and they also are self reliant on producing their own agriculture and crops (which also get contaminated with uranium)

 * This is an article that uses direct quotes and information from a Navajo man directly impacted from one of the uranium spills. This article talks about the cultural importance of water on the Navjo Nation.

 * This is another article using a primary source and directly talking to an indigenous person about the effects of the Gold King mine spill. This article talks about how the land is critical for their identity, and the impact these spills had on their land and crops. It even talks on the EPA's efforts to transport them water and how it was contaminated with oil and would poison their already dying animals and crops.
