A sign at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation is posted near Richland, Wash., on Aug. 14, 2019. Three tribes have devoted decades to returning their ancestral lands in Washington to the days before they became the most radioactively contaminated site in the nation’s nuclear weapons complex. But the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and Nez Perce Tribe have been left out of negotiations on a major decision affecting the future cleanup of millions of gallons of radioactive waste stored in underground tanks on the reservation.
