## Resource

Brevig Mission stands firm against the Graphite One mine, rejecting a massive open-pit project that threatens their subsistence lifestyle and cultural heritage. Community leaders and residents rallied with signs and traditional foods, emphasizing their deep connection to the land. While Graphite One claims to prioritize collaboration and environmental responsibility, locals say the risks to food security and cultural integrity outweigh any economic benefits. Their unanimous resolution against the mine has already been passed, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has delayed federal permitting by at least a year, demanding a more thorough environmental review — a major victory for opponents. With a final decision expected next September, the community’s message is clear: they’re protecting their home, their future, and their way of life — no compromise.
