Public Hearing Submissions, BHP Diamond Mine Environmental Assessment Panel (Lutsel K'e First Nation, January 1996)
This document comprises two submissions to the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Panel regarding the BHP Diamond Mine project: the Lutsel K'e First Nation opposes approval until aboriginal rights and title are recognized and a holistic environmental governance system is established, citing past negative mining impacts and inadequate consultation; the City of Yellowknife supports the project for its anticipated economic growth, employment, and infrastructure benefits.
