For those who are complaining about the mines, what other industry is there up there to provide any work so that people can live? Saskatchewan has the best uranium on the planet be proud of your product not ashamed of it. There needs to be more support for natives to leave the Rez, keeping people trapped in a house they dont own in a place where there is no work, no way to provide for a family other than dependence on handouts which clearly only enables not help. Perhaps more Rezs need to make their own industry kinda like huderites, some colonies make metal siding and roofing, some grow turkeys, others canola, something to keep a community together where everyone puts in and reaps the rewards of the group.

Inform people to test their health mineral supplements for radiation levels FIRST!! Potassium chloride will saturate a Geiger counter in less than 30 secs. Naturally occurring has several legal meanings. TELL PEOPLE that their table salt is mined from feldspar mines and iodine is radioactive TELL PEOPLE what background radiation really is and how cesium 133 at ground level was needed to sync the atomic clock with GPS and WiFi communication. Don't just tell them to adapt or die.

And they are mining the fuel that can save the planet from global warming

[@gabrielgagne3850]

Unfortunately they can anymore because the mining has contaminated their ground water and soon the animals around. They have destroyed the land and the future use of it

I think redistribution of wealth might be the bigger issue here, the colonialist vibes the exploitation of ressources can send is pretty obvious.

Mining has kept my family fed and many others in northern Saskatchewan.

An honest depiction of how it is for us living under the influence of these uranium mining companies. It is complex. There are those who are beholding to the mines for jobs and there are those who honestly know that there are and will be long term consequences from those jobs. But those jobs are not a secure future where our children and grandchildren will thrive. Like the Elder miner stated there will nothing left but a collapsing hole, a radioactive hole. The number for the Whistle Blowers Hotline is: 306-288-2079.

You can also be an online Proline odds trader - 😮. There is sometimes plutonium near uranium.

Well made doc. So, as the story goes...jobs seemed to be the only pro for the mine. Then, workers lose jobs in the end and the drinking water is now contaminated. The couple who started the school were on to something. Education, training, awareness and a new form of livelihood that does not put the health of the land, animals, plants & community at risk is the way forward.

Be careful what you get good at, especially if it pays well. It might not be good for you.

yeah you be happy now, after you gone what's left for the future. Depend 100 percent on the mines. Shame, SHame, SHAme, SHAMe, SHAME.

[@saraeissa4954]

I think nowadays people are realizing that your life shouldn't be based on your productivity as thats a capitalist mindset but instead ask yourself the question, what do you value in this life? and how can you make the world better before you left it? for some people they value freedom and friendships, and the way to make the world better is to not be a burden on others ie not producing but also not living off of others products. some people value building things and find fulfillment in that and so they "build" things to make the world better. and so on and so forth. if your main value in life is to work a job and you will die working a job, thats what you prioritize and thats fine! but those people who do not live by capitalist rules do not agree
