Its actually been over 3 decades since the residents took up the fight against mineral exploration in our region. "We" stopped them back in the 80s when Tech Caminco was in the drivers seat, and as I asked back in the day, who are you to T.C. Again a foreign company that spear headed potential mining in any region. I asked aat a public gathering in Naknek this very question of Northern Dynasty, meaning are you a mining company, because I read in this industry there are speculators, Juniors and Majors, or actual mining companies. This question obviously hit a nerve in that it upset the then CEO MR.Jenkins, he replied well we definitely are no speculator, my next question was well then are you a Junior, with no reply. My disgust for the thirty years is that  highs and lows we have heard from Northern Dynasty, remember this one, If the region does not want the mine we will not pursue it. Or all our work will be transparent. So EPA go home your not wanted in Bristol Bay, this is my home...
