I read in the Empire on Dec. 6 about the Alaska Native tribes’ allegation of human rights violation over Canadian mine pollution and I agree with it 100 percent. I hope that all the people in this article voted yes on Proposition 1 (Stand for Salmon). I think Proposition 1 was defeated because the big oil companies poured so much money into defeating it. When the salmon are gone, try eating minerals. I think that the defeat of Proposition 1 opens up the end of salmon and a way of life. Wait and see. Bristol Bay and the Pebble Mine are next. The rape of Alaska is at hand.
