[IPSM] [toronto] MINING IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD:Women and Indigenous Peoples Resistance

[Devin Butler]

**please forward widely**

"We are Subanons, indigenous peoples whose ancestors have lived in harmony
with nature since time immemorial at the heart of Mt. Canatuan in Tabayo,
Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte. …TVI has desecrated our altar, the tip of Mt.
Canatuan, which is our most sacred place. They bulldozed the tip of the
mountain, destroyed our most holy place, and in a matter of weeks, our
community will be wiped out due to their mad drive for gold.”
