The Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, and Neskantaga First Nations
in the James Bay lowlands of Ontario, Canada have declared a moratorium on any development in the Ring of Fire area, stating that their territories and rights stand to be seriously and permanently desecrated by massive-scale mining in the minerals-rich region in the province’s north.
The Ontario government has said the region could potentially be as big as the Sudbury or Timmins mining camps.
