Though the state closed public comment on the Tamarack Project, tribal members see it as a missed opportunity to halt the project before irreversible damage occurs, comparing the wetlands to a sponge vulnerable to pollution. They view the recent executive order halting mining near the Boundary Waters as a hopeful precedent and urge the state to prioritize water protection across all watersheds, fearing this mine could become another painful chapter in Indigenous environmental struggles with lasting consequences for future generations.
