Bluff, Utah, is one of the only towns in the southeastern part of the state near the path of the upcoming solar eclipse. The town only has one gas station, limited cell service, and few restaurants. Plus, many of their Indigenous workforce will take the day off in observance of the astronomical event. Will the eclipse be a boon to the economy, or will it merely bring chaos to the small town? We also hear from our partners at KSJD about a recent march to protest of the uranium mill in White Mesa, which is located on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation.
