Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

If the company is spelled "Fiverr" (or Fiverrr, who knows how many superfluous Rs they want), I believe their business model is letting people pay tiny, tiny sums to exploited workers in other, cheaper parts of the world for one-off tasks, and sticking themselves in the middle of it to suck out the marrow.
You know, things like "Why hire a talented and experienced graphic designer when you can request a new company logo and offer $10 to someone in Cambodia who will actually receive $4?"

BETRAYED!!!
Well, even though #DougBurgum will want to #DrillBabyDrill, #DebHaaland advocated for that as well. In the past, #Burgum had done some good stuff with regards to #NativeAmerican rights in his state of #NorthDakota. However, some #TribalLeaders are in the pockets of #BigOilAndGas and other #extractive industries -- so that needs to change on a #FirstNation by First Nation basis!
North Dakota tribal leaders see Burgum as an ally in Interior, energy role
By: Mary Steurer - November 15, 2024
"This past June, Burgum acknowledged at an event that relations between the state and tribes were at a low point when he took office in 2016. At the time, protests against the #DakotaAccessPipeline in southern #NorthDakota were ongoing, involving thousands of demonstrators who flocked to the state to camp in solidarity with the #StandingRockSioux Tribe in opposition to the pipeline.
"Burgum said one of the first things he did as governor was reach out to Dave Archambault, chair of Standing Rock at the time, and offer to come meet with tribal leaders.
"'That’s where we were starting from: with a commitment to each other to listen to each other,' Burgum said during this year’s Strengthening Government to Government conference, an annual event started under his leadership that brings together state and tribal leaders.
"U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said he thinks Burgum’s experience working with North Dakota tribal leaders makes him a good fit for leading Interior. He characterized the current #BIA as unresponsive and bureaucratic."

CW: #Trust #Transparency #Realness * with #Anonymous / ID Protective people on #Fediverse especially *
What is missing on Fediverse and everywhere now certainly in real life for various reasons mentioned... which doesn't make anonymous people guilty of a crime or bad, but almost the regular opposite though systems or people can assume otherwise without name, age, birth etc info which makes people uneasy without.
So I CC: you here as alternate way of saying some of what we talked about before and alternate evidence (not just my experience and testing with people / you).

CC: Joost van Baal-Ilić
@joostvb
CC: @DarkOptimism (audio speaker)Feel free to boost if you think others can comment on this as further opinion...
DEEPER VERSION BELOW
FOR THOSE ABLE TO BELIEVE....This audible version says my heart what many of us say in various ways, which I can accept is a better interpretation or needed as various medium to bridge to each other. Audio shows underlying #psychology and even main problems of why problems continue (!)
Again many ways can lead to similar ways but the same / ID ways online can often lead but it's "safety" to the same limited bad ways for 'good' 'spam-free' filters people's brain does online... all this is great for for States and System's when people reveal themselves online (Scholars I understand a bit more if out there or career making) but often assume there is no other way and makes it too easy for Capitalism to see / pin comms, and then work on preventing them. I could give you examples but jail time for speaking out (without violence, without much) is actually enough evidence itself (unless you don't believe there are people sitting in jail now too easily from their own evidence - could have been a bit better and assumed one day it would come to that).
Much like a wing-man or wife speaking for their partner, people like Shaun Chamberlain @DarkOptimism (whose work I really recommend) are needed to talk for us (and OK more credible as representative of principles / not titles as much as that shows some skill) and show others a more accepting or measured way to get us all there and what we anon feel excluded from and able to do (if not block us after!).
Shaun helps people see and bridge their own gaps (it is your gap not mine but I don't mean everyone listed here or that I'm perfect).
But you're able to do more with me / other / anon people, spam-looking even who still hold logic, persistence, usable energy etc and include them and not just ignored based on pseudo-name, nickname, username,... or dodgy looking links you don't even test
Not people defining themselves by capitalism's "work", not just in tech (where it can help see another pure coder) but everywhere now less are doing the caring work and head in computers (the hard stuff and what coders might be avoiding / running from because we are reliably imperfect - and human, but doesn't make us bad or helping humanity get better by not doing more of or coding ever more disposable code). Humans also transfer many things reliably and in the now.
Robotic and too safe / sterile
= less trust, friendship, practise, ...Not doing the deeper human work then yes you're part of a culture in decline...
...yes even without name or passport control or answering adequately "where are you from?' questions... all of that can be too much now we are culturally / historically raped, all mixed or sterilised in some form, or just disconnected. And wish to focus on other stuff first... maybe even therapy of all that along the way for everyone...
We shed identity of Capitalism's kind and Capitalism also raised the bar of being complicit in 'system' #war / #extractive #factory types of uncaring #systems
🛂 ID is the same copy and paste for uncaring Capitalism as a conditional start (and end) to everything, so make note of that. 📔
Those questions are even not so needed (but ok if some want to answer but accept some don't) We also most certainly will offer it later don't worry - just not in your order currently.
You need to have better faith than me at least- and if you don't - justify it... so that our survival in the future isn't just about people who didn't try with genuine people (assume 99% are or testable as-you-go to understand what their type IF it not clear from profile or first messages).
Can't ignore anonymous real responsive logical people, activists who know what we use online, and good reason for being protective (nothing to do with you directly) and yes almost a curse we have on ourself to bare like not having Facebook but hold highest principle of self-protection from system holding close because we know data collecting and mapping and whatever is all future 'prevention' in the making from our comms and *IDentifying* people.
Repeat this audio a few times.
And find more chance for us to do more. Or tell me more why now.
Thank you.========
WITH "more anonymous" in mind people like me .... i.e. Less defined by role in society (since anyway we are rejected) and less ID or less passport upfront means even #activists don't understand a different version of #activism - such that activist-scholars don't understand or want to understand other too well - which means they can't practise without psychological unrelaxedness even when a genuine anonymouse comes a long. Staying inside activist-scholar realms is also dangerously easy to shut down.
I could tell you how but I think those than almost dox themselves are also needed and part of it - each can work in their own way.And instead play it so safe it can play our reasoning or even coming out of boxes and assumptions.
The reasonable expectation and interactions
Because I / we are frequently ignored based on prejudice of holding back our exact identity or profession (we are protective from system more than anything but doesn't mean we want to attack everyone we contact and profile says a lot about a person which make us no totally anon / random / without principle)
The value of being yourself more than your position in Capitalism or Scholarly position *first*... can be seen by people who don't reply back for x/y reason (mostly not taking the time to check even though they might want to do that anyway - I could put a better front fascia but at least honestly I don't)
The quality of believing in people, Trust-as-you-go or "at the speed of Trust" and increasing reassurance rather than ignore or shut comms down.
#Trust #Transparency #Realness
* with #Anonymous / ID Protective people on #Fediverse especially *Others I thought of:

This article does mention #Mining! Not surprising!
Promises and Pitfalls: #China’s Financing of the #AtewaBauxite #Mining Project in #Ghana
Author: Angela Benefo & Michael Addaney
Date Published: July 11, 2021"The #AtewaForestReserve in Ghana is a possible site for the development of an integrated #BauxiteAluminum mine through a Chinese resource-backed loan. Despite the opportunities for infrastructure development presented by the loan, this project carries significant risks. This article draws attention to #environmental sustainability challenges and the #DebtTrap conundrum associated with the proposed arrangement.
"President Xi Jinping has touted China’s recently unveiled Five-Year Plan as his country’s pursuit of ‘ecological civilization,’ a vision of promoting environmental sustainability and enhanced human-ecological interactions within and beyond China. However, China’s ability to promote ecological civilization in developing countries in line with this Plan will be challenging due to China’s generally poor environmental protection record in such contexts. For instance, while China claims it is prioritizing environmental sustainability in Africa, the #extractive projects initiated by its private sector do not align with this stated goal. These projects serve China’s broader interests and often create environmental consequences and problematic debt, therefore requiring a more careful analysis. A Chinese-backed bauxite-aluminum mine planned for a forest reserve in Ghana highlights the debt-trap concerns and environmental sustainability challenges created by some Chinese investments.
The Challenges of #ChineseLoans across #Africa
"China continues to play an enormous role in financing massive infrastructure projects in Africa. As the world’s largest official #creditor, China and its subsidiaries have invested billions of dollars across Africa’s energy, transportation, and mining sectors. Despite China’s indispensable contributions to infrastructure development in sub-Saharan Africa, there are valid concerns over how African countries will repay these massive debts to China.
"Compared to other official lenders such as the International Monetary Fund (#IMF) and the #WorldBank, Chinese loans are less challenging to acquire. For instance, the IMF monitors the amount of debt held by a country and will not provide more loans until a country seeks debt relief. Chinese lenders have more lenient terms and allow low-income African countries to borrow large amounts without much accountability—issuing loans which may be considered too risky by the IMF and other international lenders.
"Historically, China has entered into strategic agreements with developing countries to finance development projects while collateralizing the country’s natural resources. The growing demand for external finance for important infrastructure projects—some of which are overly ambitious and unsustainable—poses great risks to African economies, which risk losing their collateral and the possibility of debt distress.
"Chinese loans are often characterized by lack of transparency. Chinese financiers set tough conditions for financing large infrastructure projects, taking advantage of vulnerable African leaders desperate to complete ambitious developmental projects. For instance, the construction of a $10 billion port project in #Tanzania was suspended after careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Chinese loan. The project, which the former president John Magufuli called 'exploitative and awkward,' would have rented the port to the Chinese government for ninety-nine years as repayment.
"In Ghana, Chinese financing over the past two decades has spanned various sectors including power, information communication technology (#ICT), #transportation, and #agriculture. Chinese foreign direct investment is estimated to be three times the size of EU countries’ investment in Ghana. Some of these loans are backed by resources such as #cocoa and #oil. For instance, #Sinohydro has allegedly agreed to deliver $2 billion worth of infrastructure projects across the country, which Ghana would pay back with proceeds from the sale of refined bauxite. An estimated $646 million of the initial $2 billion loan have been approved for disbursement. The Ghanaian government also signed a loan commitment of $550 million in 2019. Entering these types of agreements with China demands careful consideration by the Ghanaian government."

From its #founding up to the present day, #Canada has #criminalized #Indigenous #resistance to #extractive #industry through efforts so extreme & unremitting that the #UnitedNations has #condemned them numerous times.
This #ecological #imperialism is a #consequence of the #capitalist logic that guides Canada’s domestic & #transnational #investments ; in other words, the #ColonialCapitalist structure of the #SettlerState itself.https://mronline.org/2022/12/20/ecological-imperialism-and-the-canadian-mining-industry/

I tend to follow back those peeps who toot about #climate issues (bad and good,) #de-growth (and it’s opposite - #extractive #colonialist #capitalism,) #mass extinction, #adaptation, #resilience. I’m sure you catch my drift 🤔. I also enjoy communicating about #aiart, #buddist philosophy, #literature, and the Oxford comma, as well as anything else that captures my interest.
