Dillingham City Council and the Curyung Tribal Council have voted to not accept any Pebble grant money. What do you think of asking the Pebble fund for a grant or accepting a rant from them?  Does this in any way help the Pebble mine?

What or how much money do they plan to use to bury  us one by one?

How do you take care of Pyrite forever?

When the tailings are removed from the mine, they are extremely toxic. They will be laid on what is pretty much a giant plastic tarp.  These plastic tarps will be their home for eternity.  The tailings are toxic and their toxicity never loses its strength.  It will be just as toxic a million years form now as it is today.  These giant plastic tarps which hold poisonous tailing materials will be laid to top of a section of earth that is very seismically active.  One tiny movement of these plates and Pebble's tailing tarps will tear.  The toxic tailing will then be released into the headwaters of the Bristol Bay.  The poisoning of our water water seems to be a guarantee based on these facts.  How can Pebble say that they can develop this mine responsibly given these facts?

What does the term cultural genocide mean to you and do you think it is an appropriate term to use to describe negative impacts of the mine if they occur?

 If you could change the permitting process, how would you change it? If you would not change it, what are its merits?

Will the regional majority public opinion really have a direct impact on whether the mine is developed?

What negative impact might the Pebble Mine have on the region?

What are the potential benefits of the proposed Pebble Mine to the people in this region?
