“The Cordero Mercury Mine - Northern NV | 2/13/22
Polluted soil & water from mining waste. These Contaminated resources effect local communities- especially reservations where for example, arsenic levels exceed safe standards.
Part of protecting the land & culture is getting to know it with respect to the caretakers and communities.
Environmental rights is Indigenous rights.
Thank you to Daranda Hinkey of the Fort McDermitt Paiute-Shoshone Reservation - for sharing her knowledge and showing the local tribe’s ancestral homelands. “
