#Alaska Native Tribes are fighting a giant proposed gold mine near the Kuskokwim River, which would create acid drainage & a lake of permanently contaminated water. We are representing six Tribes and an Alaska nonprofit to challenge it in court

Oh I so feel for them.
We were told of catastrophic possibilities at a meeting earlier this evening. We are battling ourselves here in my tiny town along with two other towns ( some of our property is in one of the other towns ) we are joining hands/forces with. The mining companies are licking thier chops bringing bags of money in trying to buys rights.
They are also going after our Wabanaki Tribes on sacred waterways in Northern Maine.
Sickening.
