On Native Land : Pinky & Bunny pull 360 pounds of uranium tailings through Petrified Forest National Park type: digital image project number: 091211-01 format: QuickTime VR (QuickTime) Summary: From our On Native Land series. Anyone caught removing even a small piece of fossilized wood from Petrified Forest National Park will get fined $325. But Pinky & Bunny aren't stealing souvenirs, they're just spreading deadly radioactive contamination (okay, that's not real uranium), which must not be a big deal because the U.S. Government and corporations have been doing that in Navajo country for decades and no one's punishing them.
