She co-founded and works with Haul No!, Radiation Monitoring Project, and Nuclear Issues Study Group. Leone is Diné from the Navajo Nation and lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Leona is featured in the film Demon Mineral. Directed by Hadley Austin, Demon Mineral "documents the Indigenous struggle for vital living space in the radioactive desert of the American Southwest. Spanning the breadth of the Navajo Nation, in a landscape perforated by abandoned uranium mines, the film unearths the thousand-years-long project of reclaiming sacred homeland.
