GOP Ignores Environment and Native Americans to Pollute Lakes in Wisconsin

In Michigan, the Keweenaw Bay Indians are opposing a planned mine in their area, concerned not just about the potential environmental impacts of mining but also about being cut off from sacred sites. In Arizona, a long legacy of mining on and near native land has created a troubled past, even as some groups, like the Navajo, take control of mining on their own land. Throughout the US, Native Americans are actively working to protect the environment by all possible means, including coordinating with government officials to find a way to use resources safely, respectfully and sustainably. Indigenous people have long been heavily involved in numerous environmental programs to protect natural resources while balancing the desire to use them, as seen with cases like salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
