Mining in Indian Country

Go back...

After almost a century of watching miners take the “riches” from their land, First Nations people are now forcing mining companies to make deals that benefit First Nations communities. This program examines the ongoing negotiations between Atlin, B.C.’s Taku River Tlingits and mining proponents, Redfern Resources. These negotiations are compared with agreements made in the last 10 years between First Nations and mining companies.
