Abstract

When mining companies develop their mines in remote lands, they often are criticized and protested against by the indigenous people who live there, and their supporters (Whiteman and Mamen, 2002). These people charge that the mines too often desecrate sacred lands, despoil natural environments, shatter local communities and enrich a few while impoverishing many others — leaving local residents worse rather than better off. The recently opened Raglan Mine in northern Quebec provides a contrasting example, in that it has been developed so far with the full cooperation of the Nunavik Inuit, the local indigenous people — and (so it seems) to their benefit.
