Thank you to all who joined us for the webinar focused on Consent-Based Tribal Resolutions. You can find the recording and all the related webinar materials below.
The webinar covered Tribal-led and community-driven consent protocols for addressing hardrock mining projects and related infrastructure in Alaska, and explore the answers to questions you may have related to Consent-Based Tribal Resolutions:
- Why should Tribes put protocols in place?
- What are some successful examples?
- How can my Tribe use protocols when interfacing with mining companies and state and federal agencies?
AKMIN envisions an Alaska where stewardship of the land is prioritized and where local communities have the power to ensure that mining and associated development happens only with their free, prior, and informed consent, under rigorous protective policies and practices, enabling a future where the land, air, and water will continue to provide traditional and cultural livelihoods for present and future generations.
This webinar is being hosted as a result of recommendations compiled through surveys, focus groups, and interviews with AKMIN participants that developed the Consent Analysis Report: AKMIN’s Collective Vision on Consent in Hardrock Mining. One of the key recommendations was: “Develop Indigenous-led and Community-driven Consent Protocols”. These Consent-Based Tribal Resolutions webinars aim to address this recommendation.
