KBIC tribe, others sue to stop Michigan acid mine: "Have you left no sense of decency?"
Submitted by Greg Peterson on Sun, 2007-12-30 14:10.An Upper Peninsula American Indian tribe and several other groups are trying to stop the state-sanctioned rape and pillage of Michigan's northern wilderness by an uncaring mining company and it's minions.
The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) strongly opposes the "acid mine" on the Yellow Dog Plains because sulfide mining tramples ceded territorial rights and the treaties of 1842 and 1856.
Most views in the last week:
- Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)
- A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.
- The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
- Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.
- Crows wait in line for more than six hours to hear the Democratic presidential candidate. 'Somebody finally recognized us enough to come an extra few hours,' says one tribal member.
