text: Philip North served the wishes of the Native Peoples when the state would not. Natives told the state and the Pebble Partnership no over and over and when they refused to listen to us we brought in Philip North the only man who could stop Pebble. The EPA was brought in upon request and concerns from Native residents living in and near the area. How can anyone defend Pebble? Eskimos got the EPA involved. Stop blaming North for doing his job.
