These developments create conflicts around socio-ecological hazards and perceived trade-offs between economic growth and environmental protection. I take proposed copper-nickel mines in Northern Minnesota as an illustrative case study of the contentious politics that arise around ecological risks, environmental governance and land-use decisions. Northern Minnesota is an emblematic case of the tensions around resource use in a rural mining region, but also has a distinct history of progressive politics and militant unionism, American Indian sovereignty, and ethos of environmentalism. I examine how class and place-based identities and collective memories inform how people make sense of environmental hazards and construct different visions for the future. I investigate how social actors (unions, mining companies, environmentalists, American India Tribes and local politicians) legitimize their positions, create competing truth claims, and engage in environmental decision-making. I situate these discourses and actions within the particular socio-ecological histories of Northern Minnesota and broader relations of power and political-economic and ideological processes. I contribute to environmental and natural resource sociology by integrating interdisciplinary theories of political ecology to address the interconnections between class, race, and indigeneity in environmental governance.Item Geologic Map Mesabi Iron Range, Minnesota, second edition(Mesabi Range Geological Society (MRGS) and Minnesota Geological Survey, 1999) Meineke, David G; Buchheit, Richard L; Dahlberg, Henk E; Morey, G B; Warren, LeRoy EHistoric strip-map of a 100 mile-long, 10 mile-wide area covering portions of St. Louis and Itasca counties, and enclosing the Mesabi Iron Range and parts of the Duluth Complex. Scale 1: 62500. First compiled and released in 1993, this map has never been formally published with a cite-able reference. Data and assistance for the compilation was provided by numerous companies, individuals and organizations which are listed on the map plate. The map has been in the charge of the Mesabi Range Geological Society and they have provided the MGS permission to host a scanned version of this map under the MGS holdings on the University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy (2019). The original map of 1993 has been superseded by the 1999 edition to correct certain errors in the cartographic base. The geology portion of the map was not altered.Item Information Circular 13. Directory of Information on Cuyuna Range Geology and Mining(Minnesota Geological Survey, 1977) Beltrame, R.J.This directory is a revision of a portion of a final report prepared for the U.S. Bureau of Mines for grant #G0264002 entitled "Manganese-bearing ores of the Cuyuna iron range, east-central Minnesota, Phase 1". This work arose from the need for a compilation of basic geologic and mining information on the Cuyuna range. This work is intended to compliment the "Selected bibliography of Cuyuna range geology, mining and metallurgy", Minnesota Geological Survey, Inf. Circ. 12, and "Manganese resources of the Cuyuna range, east-central Minnesota: a preliminary appraisal", Minnesota Geological Survey, Rep. Invest. 18.Item Modeled Prospective Regional Socio-Economic Impacts of the Back Forty Project Menominee County, Michigan(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2015) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Scott, Michelle; Kuhn, Austin; Eisenbacher, Travis; Haedtke, KarenItem Peatland Energy Options: Systems Analysis.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota, 1982) Aiken, Roger; Wilson, Douglas S.Item Recreation for Buhl: A Proposal for the Reclamation of the Judson and Stubler Mines.(1985) Allison, Lisa et al.Item Tax Revenue Impacts and Marketing Northern Minnesota's Iron Trail(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Lichty, Richard W; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Aggarwal, Praveen; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, Amber
