This bill is not just a give-away to the mining industry. It is a wholesale giveaway of our public lands.
The bill gives anyone the ability to stake a mining claim, whether there are valuable minerals on the land or not.
We cannot have meaningful tribal consultations as long as the mining industry has the automatic right to mine wherever they stake a claim.
to merely open the floodgates to the use of our public lands without any protections, due process, community involvement... is going back to a time that got us into this situation.
