The Moapa Band of Paiutes held a “Yucca
Mountain Awareness Night” event for tribal
members on Friday, Aug. 22. Clark County’s
Nuclear Waste Program Public Information
Officer Erik Muller presented an overview of
the current status of the Yucca Mountain
Program. Cultural Committee Chair Deanna
Domingo made a presentation about Cultural
Committee accomplishments and outreach
activities related to the Yucca Mountain

The “Indian Perspectives on Yucca Mountain”
video was shown to the audience. This video
was produced by Clark County in cooperation
with the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe and the
Moapa Band of Paiutes to express the views
of our people on Yucca Mountain issues. It
has been broadcast extensively on Las Vegas
cable channel 4, as well as at many public

well as several national audiences and
numerous federal agencies.
