Uranium exposure through ingestion of contaminated traditional mutton sources on the Navajo Nation is underreported and may pose human health risk. Uranium may be found at natural background concentrations in grown foods and animal sources, but anthropogenic contamination may increase uranium concentrations. This is of particular concern for environmental justice in indigenous communities, specifically the Navajo Nation. This is problematic for the Navajo people, because of the historical uranium mining which left many abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) across their homelands and may pose increased risk of their traditional food, mutton, to be contaminated. This research investigates Navajo traditional mutton consumption frequency and cultural perspectives in the Cove, Arizona in the Navajo Northern Agency. The results will add to the understanding of traditional mutton consumption, preparation, and cultural significance on the Navajo Nation. These findings in Navajo traditional mutton consumption can enhance policy insights for protecting subsistence lifestyles by protecting access to culturally safe and sound foods. The study site is in Cove, Arizona, the first Navajo uranium mining community. Mutton frequency and cultural significance was observed, and the results show that majority of the Cove residents eat less mutton compared to pre-mining times and are concerned if their mutton is safe to eat. Findings also show that participants think their traditional ceremonies may change if there is no safe mutton available, and mutton is frequently eaten at occasional family gatherings. Results showing mutton consumption frequency and cultural significances will be compiled into a booklet and presented to Cove Chapter. Policy insights considering incorporation of Navajo Traditional Ecological Knowledge and traditional laws into the indicator criteria for subsistence lifestyles impacts is recommended for the U.S. E.P.A. Hazardous Ranking System's National Priorities List to reduce uranium exposures through traditional food consumption in Cove Chapter. The results from this study will provide information that is helpful to the Navajo Nation in making policy decisions.
