"The Oro Cruz #GoldMine is projected to begin mining on our Sacred Land. This will result in digging huge open pits, which would forever destroy our #ArchaeologicalSites, contaminate water and contribute to the destruction of our vital #ecosystems. #Cyanide and #mercury are regularly released into the #environment." -- Quechan.
