The Donlin Gold camp, photographed on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 around 12 miles north of the Kuskokwim River community of Crooked Creek. The deposit is estimated to contain 33.8 million ounces of gold. Tribes from the Western Alaska communities of Kwethluk, Tuluksak and Bethel say the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management and Interior Department illegallythe project in 2018.
“The Orutsararmiut Native Council opposes the proposed Donlin mine due to the potential health risks, not just to humans, but to all the animals and fish that call these lands and waters home,” said Walter Jim, chair of the Bethel tribal council, in a statement. A spokesperson with the Interior Department, which oversees the BLM, declined to comment. An official with the Army Corps could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Dalton Ante loves cats and is funny, smart and resourceful — but he's been bullied for his passionDalton Ante is a cool 11-year-old kid who likes cats! So much in fact, he has raised over $2,000 by himself for the Alaska Humane Society and their Cat Adoption program. Dalton is smart, quirky, silly, and has a HUGE heart. Bullied in school for being totally unique, the Alaska Humane Society, where he has volunteered for the last year, is a sanctuary of sorts and a chance for him to connect with cats and try and get them adopted. As many will see in this story, Dalton is a treasure. The Alaska Humane Society organization is completely funded by donations and is 100% volunteer operated. If people would like to donate, send a donation via PayPal, send a check made payable to Alaska Humane Society to P.O. Box 240587, Anchorage, AK 99524-0587, Venmo alaska-humane, or drop off a check at the shelter located at 1200 E. 76th Ave. All donations are tax-deductible and donors will receive a receipt.
