The tribe argues the project can’t proceed without harming the ecosystem, while Donlin Gold and the state defend the permit, claiming the relevant federal law doesn’t apply here. The court heard arguments Wednesday, with no ruling yet — but a Friday rally in Bethel shows public concern is mounting. This case could reshape the future of the mine and the Kuskokwim River’s fragile balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
