"The Oro Cruz gold mine is projected to begin mining on our Sacred Land. This will result in digging huge open pits, which would forever destroy our archaeological sites, contaminate water and contribute to the destruction of our vital ecosystems. Cyanide and mercury are regularly released into the environment." -- Quechan.
