Creating Our Legacy

Our mission is to protect our valuable resources – especially water – for future generations, by preventing destructive mining in the Black Hills and addressing the linked issue of climate change. The alliance is a diverse collection of citizens concerned about the health, environmental, and economic impacts that mining projects and their contributions to the climate crisis are having on our communities, people, economy, and natural resources. 

KNOW THE ISSUES!

Uranium | Gold | Lithium | Rare Earths | Climate Change

Since 2009, BHCWA has been tracking mining claims and activities on our Black Hills homelands. In the last several months, new mining projects have been announced – or discovered by local people – in the Black Hills. They join other projects that we already know about. This demands coordinated community action – first by your donation, and second by giving your time right now to oppose the attacks of mining companies. Are you in? Contact us to see how you can help.

WANT TO KNOW WHERE THESE MINING CLAIMS ARE?

As of December of 2023, there are now over 293,000 acres of the Black Hills under mining claims – or more than 20% of all the land in the Black Hills. REVIEW OUR MAPS HERE.
