    I live in this area, and this shows the struggle that we have everyday on an issue that is much more complicated than some think. To mine or not to mine, company vs the people, tradition vs new practices. Thank you for shedding light to others not from this area about what we deal with.

    Thanks all, and Tara, the most important commentary comes from folks living in affected areas...thank you.

    Wow! This photo is a huge testament to a largely ignored area of our nation. In our "land of plenty" too many have too little and are grossly ill -treated.

    Great testament to an area of our nation that is grossly neglected and ignored. There is NO excuse for this in "our land of plenty".!!!
