We urge Congress to reject legislative proposals that make this colonial-era law worse.
This bill is not just a give-away to the mining industry. It is a wholesale giveaway of our public lands.
This imbalance of power has resulted in over a century of ongoing toxic mines, scarring our landscape and poisoning our communities.
We cannot have meaningful tribal consultations as long as the mining industry has the automatic right to mine wherever they stake a claim.
