Minnesota Climate Donor Table - Mining and Climate in Minnesota - Session 2: Community Perspectives

Tuesday, July 21, 2026

Minnesota’s mining industry is both a source of economic opportunity and a growing climate and environmental concern. Mineral reserves sit within the Treaty territory for some of the state's 11 sovereign tribal nations as well as at the headwaters of water and wilderness resources such as the Boundary Waters, Lake Superior, and the Mississippi River. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy share community perspectives and concerns.
