Answer Preview

A good example of an environmental health issue that affects the Hopi Native American Indian people is coal mining, where the same affects the indigenous people, especially because the mining has caused negative impacts on the water that is consumed by the people (Butler & McMichael, 2006). Another negative impact that coal mining has on the environment is that it causes air pollution as there are companies and industries that have been built to enable the mining of coal.
