The Mount Poly Mine Disaster

In this episode, I speak with Nuskmata (Jacinda Mack), Indigenous land defender from the Nlaka’pamux and Secwépemc peoples in British Columbia, about the 2014 Mount Polley mining disaster when a tailings dam failure sent millions of cubic metres of waste into the Fraser River watershed. Over a decade later, communities are still living with the consequences. We discuss: – The Mount Polley tailings dam collapse – Long-term impacts on the Fraser River food system – Ongoing concerns about drinking water quality – The meaningful compensation that never truly arrived – The social impacts of large mining projects alcohol, drugs, prostitution, community fracture – The reality of mining jobs: who benefits and who doesn’t – Indigenous rights and environmental justice – What this means for communities facing new mining proposals today Mount Polley was a modern, regulated mine. It failed within twenty years. If you care about mining, the green transition, environmental protection, Indigenous land rights, or community health this conversation matters. 🎬 Watch the accompanying Short for a key moment from the interview. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations on extractivism, environmental justice, and community resistance. 📢 Share this episode if you believe water and land deserve better. #MountPolley #MiningDisaster #IndigenousRights #TailingsDam #EnvironmentalJustice #FraserRiver #LandDefenders #GreenTransition #CommunityHealth #Mining
