Book Synopsis Indigenous Peoples and Mining by : Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh
Download or read book Indigenous Peoples and Mining written by Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples have occupied their territories for thousands of years, territories that are increasingly being mined by an industry applying the most modern extractive, marketing, and transport technologies on a scale that can be difficult to comprehend. Mining reshapes landscapes, literally moving mountains and diverting rivers; the Indigenous owners of these landscapes often believe them to have been originally shaped by ancestor beings who still reside at mining locations. This book seeks to understand the political, social, economic, and cultural dynamic that is created by the relentless expansion of mining into Indigenous territories. Contributing to such an understanding involves a task of global significance: Indigenous peoples embody a large part of the world's linguistic and cultural diversity; their lands cover an estimated 25 per cent of the world's land surface, intersect with about 40 per cent of all ecologically intact landscapes, and contain a large proportion of the world's mineral resources. Must interaction between Indigenous peoples and mining involve the destruction of Indigenous peoples, territories, and cultures? Can the remarkable resilience that has allowed Indigenous peoples to survive for millennia enable them not only to survive, but to capitalize on the development opportunities offered by mining? What role are governments, international organizations, and civil society playing in shaping relations between mining and Indigenous peoples? Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh addresses these and other questions by drawing on his own 30 years of experience working with Indigenous communities as they deal with mining projects, and on the experiences of Indigenous peoples in some 15 countries from different regions of the globe.

Book Synopsis Local Communities and the Mining Industry by : Nicolas D. Brunet
Download or read book Local Communities and the Mining Industry written by Nicolas D. Brunet and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of the global mining sector and local communities by focusing on a number of international cases drawn from various locations in Canada, the Philippines, and Scandinavia. Mining’s contribution to economic development varies greatly across countries. In some, it has been a major engine of development, but in others, disputes have erupted over land use, property rights, environmental damage, and revenue sharing. Corporate social responsibility programs are increasingly relied upon to manage company-community relations, yet conflicts persist in many settings, with significant costs for companies and communities. Exploring the many factors and drivers that characterize relationships among different actors within the sector, the volume contributes towards the development of practical wisdom, collective understanding, common sense, and prudence required for the mining sector and community partners to realize the economic potential and social and environmental responsibilities of non-renewable resource development. The book examines case studies from Canada, Scandinavia, and the Philippines, three regions amongst the world's top countries of mining operations. Drawing on their extensive experience in these regions, the contributors explore distinctive mining sectors in the Global North and South, the variation surrounding different types of extractive industries, and at different scales, and the legal processes in place to protect local communities. Key themes include corporate social responsibility, impact assessment, foreign ownership, Indigenous Peoples, gender, local insurgency, and mining disasters as well as climate change. The book identifies areas of future research and pathways to achieving stronger, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationships at the nexus of global mineral extraction and local communities. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the extractive industries, natural resource management, sustainable business and corporate social responsibility, Indigenous studies, and sustainable planning and development.

Download or read book My Country, Mine Country written by Benedict Scambary and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such futures. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of value, identity, and community are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and livelihood activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of country, the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.

[...] This review is one of the principal outputs of a collaborative research project between The North-South Institute (Canada), the Amerindian Peoples Association (Guyana) and the Institute of Regional Studies of the University of Antioquia (Colombia), entitled Exploring Indigenous Perspectives to Consultation and Engagement in the Mining Sector of Latin America and the Caribbean. [...] This situation has led critics to seriously question the substance of the World Bank and others' alleged support of Indigenous rights, particularly in light of current revisions to the World Bank's policy for Indigenous peoples (OD 4.20), and the World Bank's recent rejection of the right to prior informed consent. [...] Furthermore, the full impacts of mining on Indigenous peoples in remote areas are seldom communicated to shareholders and the public, often due to the absence of paths of communication available to Indigenous peoples to voice their concerns to the outside world. [...] Most problematic is the continual lack of recognition for the international rights of Indigenous peoples, including the right to prior informed consent and the right to meaningful consultation and participation in natural resources development.
Book Synopsis Mining North America by : John R. McNeill
Download or read book Mining North America written by John R. McNeill and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past five hundred years, North Americans have increasingly turned to mining to produce many of their basic social and cultural objects. From cell phones to cars and roadways, metal pots to wall tile and even talcum powder, minerals products have become central to modern North American life. As this process has unfolded, mining has also indelibly shaped the natural world and North Americans' relationship with it. Mountains have been honeycombed, rivers poisoned, and forests leveled. The effects of these environmental transformations have fallen unevenly across North American societies. Mining North America examines these developments. Drawing on the work of scholars from Mexico, the United States, and Canada, this book explores how mining has shaped North America over the last half millennium. It covers an array of minerals and geographies while seeking to draw mining into the core debates that animate North American environmental history generally. Taken together, the authors' contributions make a powerful case for the centrality of mining in forging North American environments and societies"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Mining Development on Subsistence Practices of Indigenous Peoples by : Paul E. Koke
Download or read book The Impact of Mining Development on Subsistence Practices of Indigenous Peoples written by Paul E. Koke and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic region is increasingly viewed as an important resource-base, and is being explored for its resource development potential. While many researchers in the 1960s suggested that northern populations would eventually transition from a traditional, subsistence-dominated economy to a modern, wage-based economy, more recent studies reveal that the traditional economy remains important, desirable, and of benefit to northern individuals and communities. In this thesis I explore the relationship between traditional and modern economic activities related to one resource-based sector in the Arctic, the mining sector. Specifically, I explore the relationship between northern mining developments and subsistence activities and values in two Arctic regions, Canada's Nunavik region in the Province of Quebec and the United States' Northwest Arctic Borough in the State of Alaska. The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: does mining development in the Arctic lead to an increase or decrease in the importance of land-based subsistence participation and activities of local indigenous peoples. This study draws upon recent data that was collected in the Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic (SLICA), an international project that comparatively studies aspects of living conditions for the Inuit, Inupiat, Saami, and Indigenous peoples of Chukotka. Four mining projects are utilized as case studies in this project, in order to help explain the findings from the results of the SLICA analysis. Two of these projects are currently in full operation, and two are presently in planning and approval phases. In Nunavik, the Raglan Mine and the proposed Raglan South Nickel Project are examined, and in Alaska, the Red Dog Mine, and its proposed Aqqaluk Project expansion are addressed.

Book excerpt: The mining industry continues to be at the forefront of colonial dispossession around the world.

Brimming with case studies, anecdotes, resources, and illustrations, Unearthing Justice exposes the mining process and its externalized impacts on the environment, Indigenous Peoples, communities, workers, and governments. But, most importantly, the book shows how people are fighting back. Whether it is to stop a mine before it starts, to get an abandoned mine cleaned up, to change Laws and policy, or to mount a campaign to influence investors, Unearthing Justice is an essential handbook for anyone trying to protect the places and people they love.
