The native reserve in Iskut tried to stop the mine from operating in the beginning and now every FN is Iskut that is able to work, works in the mine. It is an impossible situation for FN up there. Live with little to no money or bend over. First time I have ever seen a mine in action.. The devastation of the land was is believable to see. The constant noise from huge trucks and rock crushers, 24 hours a day 365 days a year...
The worst thing I have ever seen.....
Don't understand the constant desire for companies to destroy what little is left untouched by progress.
