	1	+TEXT: The republic of China will ban nuclear waste dumping on Orchid Island against the Tao people
	2	+The Tao people want all nuclear waste dumping banned on their Island, Orchid Island.
	3	+ Cultural Survival this is from their Website. They are a group that “supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination”. "Orchid Island - Nuclear Waste and the Yami." Cultural Survival. Cultural Survival, 19 Feb. 2010. Web. 28 Oct. 2016
	4	+Now, the government is planning to establish a second dump on the tiny island. Government spokesmen claim that the natives have little to worry about. The new dump will face the ocean, and hills on three sides will protect the nearest village (which is three miles away). The dump site would be used to store low-radiation-level waste such as contaminated clothing and sludge. "What little radiation that leaks, if any, should be blocked by the hills and residential exposure should be minimal," the spokesman said, reassuringly.
	5	+But this time Yami are determined to block the new move. "We are too late to stop the construction of the first one, but we can't let our lives be ruined by a second dump or perhaps more will be built," stated a Yami representative. The tribe, thanks to the influx of information, is more aware of the dangers of dumping nuclear waste. In the words of one young Yami,
	6	+Although the storm at sea is frightening, we can see the waves, feel the wind. So we can fight the storm. But we cannot see or reel this nuclear radiation. How can we fight something we cannot see or feel? But we know it can destroy our land, our life. That is what really frightens us.

	9	+First, He’s telling the Tao people what they want without engaging with what their protests have been arguing for decades. This is a disad to the aff discourse which means that the aff policy is uniquely bad because it entails paternalistic statements that further oppress the Tao people.

	13	+Since an Orchid Island resident wrote an article to question the nuclear dump in 1985, the issue has been taken seriously by the Orchid Island residents and people in mainland Taiwan. More articles and reports have appeared in the newspaper and on TV. The residents on Orchid Island started their protests , which attempted to stop the Taipower company from sending more nuclear waste to the islet. In 1987, an organization, Yamwei Tribe Young Generation Union (YTYG), was set up to organize a series of anti-nuclear movements by the Orchid Island people. The most successful protest formed by the Orchid Island people was the 530 anti-nuclear movement in 1993. The impact of this demonstration was that the Legislative Yuan froze the financial budget for the second stage of construction of the second nuclear waste field on the Orchid Island.

	15	+Second, he is using their suffering to justify something that he was going to argue for anyway, so he is not being inclusive of their culture when he uses it to justify something that they might not even want. He is commodifying the voice of the Tao people in order to fit a predetermined frame of banning nuclear power instead of authentically engaging with the voices of the tribe. The CP however, does so

	17	+Third, transnational indigenous solidarity. CP increases cultural inclusion by creating a virtual network of indigenous struggles. A rising tide of indigenous struggles. All indigenous peoples have been victims of colonization in the same way that native Americans have been colonized by European peoples and how in Taiwan the Han Chinese pushed the Taiwanese aborigines out of their original lands violently.

	19	+The Navajo Nation’s ban on uranium mining confirms that indigenous groups throughout the world are speaking against the EFFECTS of nuclear power. Native peoples are speaking out and we should listen to them Laduke 2005
	20	+Laduke, Winona. “Navajos ban uranium mining.” Earth Island Journal 20.3 (37-38), Autumn 2005. MO.
	21	+Navajos (Dinés) who have lost family members from radioactive contamination – and those fighting new proposals for uranium development – celebrated the passage April 19 of the Dine Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005. Navajo Tribal Chairman Joe Shirley’s signing of the Act into law signaled a bold step in protecting the arid southwest’s most precious natural resource – water – from mining contamination. The Act bans all uranium mining and processing anywhere on the Navajo Reservation.¶ It’s very simple: Uranium kills,” said Mark Maryboy of the Navajo Council Delegate. “This legislation just chopped the legs off the uranium monster,” added Norman Brown of Diné Bidziil, a coalition of 23 Navajo organizations seeking to end uranium mining on Navajo lands. While celebrating the passage of the law, the first of its kind in Indian country, the Diné community vowed to oppose passage of a federal energy bill with subsidies of $30 million for uranium mining.¶ The Navajo Nation’s new law passed as the Bush administration called for new investment in nuclear power to mitigate global climate change. Calling nuclear power “one of the safest and cleanest sources of power in the world,” the Bush administration proposed new subsidies to the US uranium industry. Indeed, global climate change is a leading factor in the push for more nuclear power. As mining conglomerate Rio Tinto Zinc noted in a recent report, climate change worries are prompting renewed debate on nuclear power. After two decades of slack market, uranium prices have doubled in nine months. Rio Tinto Zinc, one of the world’s largest uranium mining corporations, looks to new mines in Australia, the United States, and Kazakhstan to fuel pending and projected reactors in China, and possibly the US.¶ Indigenous lands have historically been the source of most of the world’s uranium production. Native nations in the US, Australia, Canada, and elsewhere are deemed to hold 70 percent of world’s uranium resources. The Navajo Nation alone holds an estimated 25 percent of recoverable uranium in the US. Native people are increasingly concerned about energy proposals for ramping up nuclear power, as new mines will compound the already devastating environmental and health effects of historic mining.
