National Mining Association
Reclamation Archives - National Mining Association
Since 1978, more than 2.8 million acres of mined lands have been restored for wildlife areas and wetlands, recreation areas, economic development park...
"A second problem is the sheer number of abandoned sites, andcorrespondingly, the potentially staggering cost of remediation. According tothe Mineral Policy Center, a group that conducts research about mining, thereare over one-half million abandoned and inactive mine sites across 32 states,including almost 15,000 with water contamination problems (see Table). Theofficial estimate—admittedly a rough one—from the federal Bureau of LandManagement is that there are between 100,000 and 500,000 abandonedhardrock mines on the public lands administered by that Bureau.6 The ArizonaState Mine Inspector’s Office estimates that Arizona alone may have up to27,000 abandoned sites.7 The BLM estimates that about 5 percent ofabandoned mines are causing or could cause environmental damage, mostlywater pollution.8Current policy does not seem to address these problems very well. In thewords of one critic, “After the mining is over, federal policy seems todisappear, and reclamation becomes a patchwork of local arrangements andaccommodations and economic pressures. . . . Only when the patchwork failsdoes the federal government come back in with the Superfund laws and itslawsuits. By then, of course, the wealth is long gone, and only theenvironmental costs and impacts remain"
sounds so similar to other problems we know

A Garden Fair
by Helen A. Fussell
I will sing you a song
Of a garden fair,
Wherein were sown seeds
That brought blossoms rare.
Love, joy and kindness,
And hearty good cheer,
Were the seeds that were sown
And flowered here.
The garden fair
Was a little child’s mind,
And the seeds were these thoughts,
Just the very best kind.

"In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.
We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater?"
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Measure life by the simple things of truth and beauty. We are all stars tending other stars. We are all, right now, each of us, the Mothers of creation.

Protect Indigenous Women

Since the onset of colonization Indigenous women have experienced violence with reckless abandon, today it is a public health emergency. Traditionally, many of our Native societies are matrilineal but settler colonialism has disrupted our traditional value systems. These shifts have tragically contributed to the epidemic of violence we see committed against our women and Two Spirit relations. The issue is systemic and this episode discusses how we must hold systems and people accountable. Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee) is a playwright and lawyer with Pipestem Law, a firm dedicated to legal advocacy for the safety of Native women and tribal sovereignty. She represents families of victims and has testified before Congress for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Her perspective on the legal issues regarding MMIW expounds how tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction is so important in combatting the crisis. She also explains how political participation and allyship is necessary to fight subversive systems which propagate violence. Abigail Echohawk (Pawnee) is Director of the Urban Indian Health Institute and a leader in the movement to bring visibility to MMIW through political advocacy work, data, and research. Her organization conducted a seminal report on the crisis to better understand the prevalence of the crisis which has harmed our relations for 500 years. This episode is raw, real, and heart wrenching. The crisis must be addressed and we need allies to join us in making it visible so we can all take action. We need to hold non-Natives upholding these systems accountable. Further, we need Natives to step into roles of political power to demand change. Every statistic represents a Native woman. We must honor and protect our sisters. No more stolen sisters. Links and Resources
