I am a Bristol Bay Fisherman and I need your help. I'm putting together a petition of my own in an effort to get my community on board. I live in Utah and most people don't know what Bristol Bay even is.. most of the time I am the only fisherman they have ever met.. I need your help and advice to spread the word so I can do my part to save a place that is so so precious to me...
Hi Alexis! I am a mining professional and also lived in Alaska for many years. Now I live in Salt Lake City. As an engineer, I really doubt the fish and Pebble can coexist. With hundreds of million tons of mine waste, you cannot engineer your way out to guarantee protection for fish. Even if they could, the mine won’t be profitable. There are many people in mining industry that oppose Pebble. People often think that if you are a mining professional you ought to be for Pebble and that’s exactly our problem is, tribalism and division.
So I'm from Dillingham and my question would be. Is my home precious to you or your wallet? I ask because a lot of you vultures come here and take our resources. The only reason most of you complain is for your wallet and damn sure not our native way of life. Just be honest about it
These are blond, redhead cousins, nephews and nieces, native style, cause my father, Evon Aposik and his ancestors were the original natives in the whole area. When my niece, Evelyn Yanez(Coopchiak)did a quick ancestral lookup in Dillingham, almost everyone in Dillilngham and surrounding areas came up on the top of the ancestral line of my Dad, Evon Aposik and my Aunt Mary Aknayuke. During my generation, our people are very respectful of one another. I smile at some of my very close relatives say how proud they are to be natives, with their bright blond or red hair, and blue eyes, say, "I'm really proud to be native." These are all my close relatives, they say, what I'm going to say. Thank you.
Enviro shills have poured millions into fighting this. Final EIS is coming soon and the benefits for AK will be great with little impact on the fisheries.
Enviro shills. What an ugly term for people who are trying to make sure life is healthy and sustainable forever for everything. What an ugly term to call people who know the value of only taking what you need. What do you call yourself? What do you care about? Are the things you care about timeless things or only things that will benefit you for the infinitesimally short time your ass is here on the planet? If not maybe you should honor people who are trying to live ethically and farsightedly and not call them shills....you know, shills, like the people who are trying to open up the mines and poison the planet and all life on it forever
Some of these people interviewed say it is hard to find jobs. This mine will provide a thousand high paying jobs, and with that, a lot of tax revenue for the local communities and the state.
these mining jobs are to destroy an ancient, irreplaceable place that is like no other in all the world. What a short sighted view and wrong view. How much does it cost to clean up poison? How much is your/our health worth? Who pays for that. Not the corporations who leave filth and disease in their wake.

Couldn’t agree more! Great job!
Thank you, Steve!
