Supporters for Charlotte Loonsfoot gathered outside of the Marquette County Courthouse this morning bearing signs and flags and chanting messages: “Our Land, Our Water,” “Brit’s go home” and “Native Rights, Native Justice!” The message was clear that opponents of Kennecott’s Eagle Project will continue to work on protecting fresh water, public lands and the wilderness experience from destructive development.

One participant from L’Anse commented on RioTinto, “they’re not interested in spending their money here in the states. They will sell our minerals to China or the the highest bidder. We’ll get nothing.”
