Marquette – Professor Al Gedicks and Guy Reiter will deliver a presentation to discuss the impacts the proposed Back Forty Mine will have on the Menominee Nation on Monday, March 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Marquette and Nicolet rooms in the University Center at Northern Michigan University.
The Speaking Tour focuses on the environmental and cultural impacts of Aquila’s proposed Back 40 Mine. The mine presents a threat both to Menominee burial grounds and historical sites, as well as to the Menominee River and surrounding environment. There has been widespread opposition to the mine from the Menominee Nation, sportsmen’s groups, and residents of the area.
The event is free and open to the public.
