Welcome to the Western Mining Action Network
Document Actions
WMAN’s mission is to foster and support a strong network that protects communities, land, water, air, and wildlife by reforming mining practices and holding government and corporations accountable.
We purpose in our hearts to open the eyes of our understanding to uranium mining devastation on indigenous lands. Yes, we want a better life but not at the expense of our land. Yes, our land and nearby lands are rich in minerals like uranium but our beautiful clear, pure water, air and land are much more valuable than these. We desire that our water, plants, animals, fish, waterfowl, insects, sea mammals, our seven generation Inupiat/Yupik culture to be protected and preserved. Therefore we take a stand and voice our opposition to uranium mining near or on our land.
