      abstract = {The story of how the Indian tribes may become the  repository for radioactive waste is yet another chapter in  their sad history in North America. In this film tribal  leader Ron Eagleye Johnny takes us to four reservations  whose inhabitants chronicle the negotiations with the U.S.  government to place Monitored Storage Retrieval sites on  their land The large commercial power companies have run  out of places to bury their nuclear waste. The lure to  these impoverished people is quick money, jobs, and the  promise of safety. Unhappily, it is often the tribal  councils that will negotiate the deals and profit from them  without the money filtering down to the rest of the  population. The tour starts with the Paiute Shoshone  reservation, near Fort McDermott, Oregon, goes to the Skull  Valley Cosiute reservation outside of Salt Lake City, and  takes us to New Mexico and Nevada where the Apaches,  Navajos and Pueblos have long been recipients of nuclear  fallout from weapons testing. Ron Eagleye Johnny also  visits a power plant in Minnesota where conversation is  monitored by lawyers and public relations people.  Radioactive Reservations is an eloquent statement from the  Native Americans themselves on the vulnerability of their  very existence.},
