"Green" future for the rich is genocide for Indigenous
"This green future is coming at the expense of indigenous communities whose historic land surrounded many of the reservoirs where these rare minerals are formed."
"It introduces pollution, surge of various diseases, respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, cancer, more. It also leaves behind profound social impacts, including drug abuse, alcoholism, missing and murdered indigenous women."
