On October 28, 2003, the 28-year fight to stop the proposed Crandon mine in northeastern Wisconsin came to a sudden end. Not only had opponents defeated the controversial zinc-copper project, which they had long contended would harm the local environment, economy, and Native cultures. But in the end, two Native American tribes actually ended up owning and controlling the mine site itself. 

Two Native communities next to the site, the Forest County Potawatomi and the Mole Lake Sokaogon Chippewa (Ojibwe), paid $16.5 million for the 5,000-acre mine site. Mole Lake now owns the Nicolet Minerals Company. On October 28, tribal members and non-Indian mine opponents flooded into the Nicolet Minerals Information Center in Crandon to celebrate. 

As he hung a giant “SOLD” sign on the building, Potawatomi tribal member Dennis Shepherd exclaimed: “We rocked the boat. Now we own the boat.” Native children climbed up on mining equipment, in a scene reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

The two tribes divided the Crandon mine site between themselves, to ensure that a metallic sulfide mine could never threaten them in the future. The move could be compared to the Allies carving up Germany after World War II, to ensure that the country would no longer be a threat. 

The remarkable victory by Wisconsin’s grassroots movement against the Crandon mine goes beyond stopping the project. In the process of organizing, the opposition movement also helped build bridges between groups who had previously been adversaries. It brought together Native American nations with sportfishing groups, environmentalists with unionists, and rural residents with urban students. 

This unusual alliance first drove out the world’s largest resource corporation (Exxon), and then the world’s largest mining company (the Australian-South African firm BHP Billiton). The shaft mine was proposed in an area with many wetlands, Ojibwe wild rice beds, Native burial sites, and prized trout, walleye and sturgeon in the Wolf River just downstream from the site. 

Through old-fashioned grassroots organizing (such as speaking tours and local government resolutions) the movement reached people throughout Wisconsin for a state mining moratorium, and a still-proposed ban on cyanide use in mining. Through the Internet (through websites such as treatyland.com and nocrandonmine.com), it got the message out around the world, even leading to a rally in Australia. The alliance is an example of “globalization-from-below” in the midwestern Heartland. 

International mining journals in Britain and Canada complained that the Wisconsin organizers were “barbarians at the gates of cyberspace” that were becoming “increasingly sophisticated.” They portrayed the Wolf Watershed Educational Project as a “threat to the global mining industry.” One mining industry think tank, the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, earlier this year gave Wisconsin the lowest “Investment Attractiveness Index” of any political unit in the entire world, with a score of 13 out of a possible 100. 

The movement against the Crandon mine enabled the tribes to purchase the site at a "rummage sale" price, by driving away potential mining partners for the tiny Nicolet Minerals Co., and driving down the site price by tens of millions of dollars. The former mining company director, Gordon Connor Jr., complained that Wisconsin’s “anti-corporate culture” defeated the mine, adding, "We have engaged every significant mining interest in the world. The message is clear. They don't want to do business in the state of Wisconsin.” Former company president Dale Alberts said that the Crandon mine “"is dead and gone forever. I think it is essentially the end of mining in the state…It is a bitter pill." 

Why did this movement develop in Wisconsin? Because it effectively drew from four strands in the state’s history. It personified our history of progressive populism, which mistrusts Big Business. It exhibited the environmental ethics of John Muir and Aldo Leopold, which are still strong in our rural areas. It tapped into the historic resentment of rural northern Wisconsin residents against state government in Madison. It was the historic perseverance of Native American nations (such as the Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Menominee) to protect their treaty rights and tribal sovereignty that proved to be the main deciding factor. 

During the treaty rights conflict over Ojibwe spearfishing in the 1980s and early 1990s, Native Americans and sportfishing groups fought over the fish resource, but during the Crandon fight they united to protect the fish, and healed some of their divisions. Native and non-Native rural people mistrusted the Department of Natural Resources to defend their interests, and found that tribal environmental regulations were stronger than state laws in protecting the Wolf River’s tourism economy. 

The mining companies not only tried to pit whites against Native Americans, but rural northern residents against urban southern residents, and union members against environmentalists. They failed each time. The mining companies could not divide Wisconsin communities by race, by region, or by class. 

Resource corporations are used to dealing with environmental groups made up largely of white, urban, upper-middle-class people. The companies have been able to portray such activists as yuppies or hippies who do not care about rural jobs, and often because in some parts of the U.S. these activists have not let rural communities take the lead. 

What corporations face in Wisconsin is something new--an environmental movement that is rural-based, multi-racial, middle-class and working-class, and made up of many youth and elderly people. This movement does not just address a corporation’s environmental threats, but also their threats to Native cultures, local economies and democratic institutions, their "boom-and-bust" social disruptions, and their mistreatment of union employees. 

This type of “people power” movement also defeated Perrier springwater drilling in central Wisconsin, and is opposing an electric transmission line in northwestern Wisconsin, and other corporate projects. New environmental groups are going beyond a message of “Not In My Back Yard” to one of “Not In Anyone’s Back Yard,” with a deeper critique of our corporate economy and politics. They are asking why we need centralized electric grids instead of renewal energies, bottled water instead of cleaner public water supplies, and new sources of metal instead of recycled materials. 

The victory over the Crandon mine is not simply the defeat of a single dangerous project. It points toward new paths for diverse communities to live together. It also shows how these communities can together build a sustainable future on the land. The former mine site will now be managed to protect its natural and cultural resources, and develop a local sustainable economy. 

But for the local Native and non-Native people who have spent so much time and money to defeat the project, the victory finally brought a sense of peace, after a quarter-century of struggle. At the Information Center, Mole Lake veteran Jerry Burnett brought out an American flag that he had long carried upside down, as a symbol of distress, and turned it back upright. 

Burnett told the gathered crowd, "I fought in Vietnam. When I came back, I swore I would not fight another war except in defense of my country. And then I had to fight the mining company to defend my own soil. And we have won this war. Now the war is over."

By Alice McCombs
November 23, 2003

The decades long battle to stop the Crandon mine was won with the historic cooperation of Native American tribes, environmentalists, hunters, sportfishers, legislators, and people from Wisconsin and around the world. For the past eight years, the online activist organization EarthWINS was there every step of the way. 

EarthWINS was started in 1995 in Shawano, Wisconsin, by Alice McCombs and her sister, T L Christen. Although the mission of EarthWINS was to help people work for peace, justice, human rights and the environment, its primary goal was to help stop the Crandon mine. 

T L and Alice decided to make EarthWINS an online activist organization, because they realized the anti-Crandon mine effort needed an inexpensive way to communicate quickly with each other and the rest of the world. Alice McCombs says, "I knew if we could get the message out to the international community about what was happening in Wisconsin, the feedback would help stop the mine. I knew the Internet could make that happen."

EarthWINS began its online activism on Thanksgiving Day 1995 with EarthWINS Daily, an email list dedicated to "helping people who resist unsafe mining in their neighborhoods share information about their strategies, mining, and mining corporations." The newsletter was the first email listserv to share information online about the Crandon mine with other states and other countries. From 1995-1998 EarthWINS Daily distributed over 500 email newsletters to people and organizations around the world. And every bit of news about the Crandon mine, including  the effort to pass the Mining Moratorium, was posted to the Net in the newsletter. 

While working as a research analyst for the Menominee Treaty Rights & Mining Impacts office from 1996 - 1997, Alice helped design and obtain content for the Menominee Tribe's website about the Crandon mine. The Menominee Indian Tribe put up the first website about the Crandon mine. It is still online today at http://www.menominee.com/nomining/

In November 1996, EarthWINS went on the web at www.EarthWINS.com. Information about the proposed Crandon mine was available through a Yahoo search on the Menominee and EarthWINS websites. McCombs says, "This was back in the days when the general public was just starting to use email and the World Wide Web was in its infancy. The Wisconsin Legislature and Department of Natural Resources were amazed to see emails coming in regularly from Wisconsin citizens, other states and other countries who were strongly opposed to the Crandon mine."

By the end of 1997, the Midwest Treaty Network and Wisconsin Stewardship Network had their own websites with information about the Crandon mine. 

Recognizing how effective online activism was in the effort to pass the Mining Moratorium, the mining industry labeled EarthWINS and other organizations "Cyber-barbarians" in their mining journals and launched a multi-million dollar PR campaign to sway public opinion. But it was too little, too late. The mining industry's misinformation was unable to counter the facts about sulfide mining widely available to the public online and in print. With its support for thousands of Wisconsin citizens working for the Mining Moratorium, online activism against the Crandon mine became a significant factor in getting the Mining Moratorium passed in 1998.

The Mining Moratorium didn't stop the mine, so EarthWINS continued to distribute information about mining. As a way to expand the network of people and organizations working against the Crandon mine, EarthWINS began to design and maintain websites. Since 1998, EarthWINS has provided free or at-cost services such as website domain registration, hosting, design, and promotion, as well as training in website design at various times to the following organizations: 

Clean Water Action Council of Northeast Wisconsin, Midwest Treaty Network and Wolf Watershed Educational Project, Northwoods Economic Development Project, Mining Impact Coalition of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Resources Protection Council, the Town of Nashville, Rusk County Citizens Action Group, Protect the Earth, Protect Our Wolf River, Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger, Friends of the Mecan, Concerned Citizens of Newport, Save Our Unique Lands, Nukewatch, Red River Riders, and the Central Wisconsin Wildlife Center.

In 1999 EarthWINS designed the www.NoCrandonMine.com website for the Wolf Watershed Educational Project. Links on the other EarthWINS sites to the NoCrandonMine website made it one of the main sites for people to learn about the Crandon mine. By January 2000, simply entering "Crandon mine" into a Yahoo search would result in pages of links to Wisconsin organizations opposing the mine. Easy access to detailed information about sulfide mining on multiple websites helped make Wisconsin the least favorable place to mine in the world in 2003. 

Effective use of the Internet linked thousands of people together into a powerful global alliance. Their relentless opposition to the fatally flawed mining project made it possible for the Mole Lake Sokaogon Chippewa and Forest County Potowatomi to purchase the Crandon mine. Online activism helped protect the land and water in north Wisconsin for generations of children to come. 

This essential part of the Crandon mine story needs to be remembered and shared. Other people around the world need to know what happened in Wisconsin so they have a model of success they can use in their own communities.

EarthWINS will help tell the story by continuing to maintain the NoCrandonMine site, archiving all the EarthWINS Daily newsletters online and publishing new newsletters beginning today. See http://www.earthwins.com/ewd/current.html. In addition, EarthWINS has started a new site, CyberHeroes Tools for Online Activists, at www.cyberheroes.org.

4. Life after stopping the Crandon mine

Life after stopping the Crandon mine
By Alice McCombs

Thank Heaven the Crandon mine is finally dead. A profound thank you to all the brave people who devoted years of your lives to defeating that dangerous, foolish project. Now we can celebrate and take that long rest we've been promising ourselves right?

Wrong.

Yes, we just won a long hard battle against corporate evil. But, if we want our victory to mean anything, we need to keep fighting. There are still big problems in Wisconsin and the U.S. that need our attention:

Environmental deregulation must be prevented. The Wisconsin Legislature recently passed bills deceptively labeled "permit streamlining" and "regulatory reform" which gut essential protections for our state's air, soil, and water. The Jobs Creation Act is another ruse to play on people's need for employment in order to get a bill passed that also includes streamlined permitting. Under the guise of upgrading our state's power grid, the Legislature is fast-tracking energy bills that will allow electric companies to charge consumers even more for building more power stations and transmission lines. Governor Doyle is under extreme pressure from industry to sign these bills. He needs to hear from all of us that we want job creation without sacrificing environmental protection.

The Fox River PCBs need to be cleaned up. Unlike the Crandon mine which never happened, the Fox River PCBs are still there flowing into the Bay and out to Lake Michigan. The Record of Decision (ROD) is a perfect example of what industry and government won't do if contamination occurs. With its inexcusably weak 1 ppm target cleanup level, the cleanup described in the ROD will do little to protect public health or restore the Fox River's capability to support fish and wildlife. Clean Water Action Council and the people in the Fox River valley need help to get a better cleanup.

George Bush needs to be defeated in 2004. The war in Iraq is killing citizens in both countries and bankrupting our country. George Bush's foreign policy is damaging our country's relationships with other nations. Bush and his administration are dismantling every federal environmental protection they can as fast as they can. And most frightening, our constitutional right to vote in elections free of tampering is threatened by the use of voting machines made by a corporation whose CEO vowed to make sure Bush is re-elected. 

No we dare not rest. The stakes are too high. We need to channel the creativity and cooperation that sustained our fight against the Crandon Mine into more action for the environment and for peace.

Our children are depending on us.
