The ...This is a must needed project for our area. The wealth created by extracting this valuable resource will benefit everyone. The area to be mined has been owned by mining companies for over 120 years for this expressed purpose and has had many previous smaller scale mining attempts. The mine is actually over 15 miles from Lake Superior and the Flambeau Mine in Ladysmith which was right on the banks of the Flambeau River demonstrates how mining can be successfully done even near waterways. <br /><br />The people of this area have lived with a mining economy in the past and lived without one and most people here overwhelmingly support the mine.garyglonekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797135187895517582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-25528989777837830092011-05-08T13:08:33.190-05:002011-05-08T13:08:33.190-05:00Annie,

The Bad River band has fisheries in the affected area to the south (if I understand the location correctly) and there's rice and all kinds of stuff going on. It's not like the government never takes dump on a treaty but there's some shreds of "rights" left.<br />Do they know? How will their lands be effected? Do the plans conflict with any kind of treaty right? Harm a Native Business? etc etc<br /> <br />Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council<br />2932 Highway 47 N - Lac du Flambeau, WI 54538<br />or P.O.
