Abstract

An environmental and indigenous rights campaigner describes the fight, led by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and backed by numerous environmental groups, against the proposed Back Forty mine project which would not only destroy Native Nations’ sacred lands but also lead to widespread water contamination. The campaign recalls that of Standing Rock.
