The Gold Link: Divide and Conquer
http://thesourceloop3.blogspot.com/2007/02/divide-and-conquer.html
A visual story of landscape, extraction, and indigenous collaboration at the source of one of our most popular commodities. Saturday, February 3, 2007. This he-said-she-said ping-pong match of local accusations versus company policies never ceases. It's easy to understand how years of such ambiguousness and contradiction can lead a person to become mistrustful of everyone. Anna Huanchequay, president of the local Diaguita people, seems to be taking the brunt of that confusion. The Source Loop Home.

That was simply a scouting visit, so I took my info and some photos and moved on down the road to the Osa Peninsula where hiking, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, canopy tours, and everything else fun and adventurous live relatively unscathed by the furious tourist engine of northwestern Costa Rica.

Byways: Oysterville
http://cottagebyways.blogspot.com/2009/04/oysterville.html
Travel, architecture, community, and overall roadside bravery. Sunday, April 5, 2009. Oysterville, WA and Apalachicola, FL are like long-lost cousins. Apalach has an actual town core and Main Street, while Oysterville is much smaller, really just an historic village of second homes passed down through generations of the same family. But the oysters and the sense of old and salty and crusty connect these two distant towns. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ thesourceloop.blogspot.com.

Travel, architecture, community, and overall roadside bravery. Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Hamer Village, Omo Valley, Ethiopia. Interior, South Dakota. So There I Was…. I’ll take the extra time everyday. So when the mandate came down at work to “spend your money like it’s yours” I took them literally. This national park trip would break single-season lows for expense reports. At some point in these random travel encounters I get around to telling the folks that I’m a travel writer. This can have the...I wande...

A visual story of landscape, extraction, and indigenous collaboration at the source of one of our most popular commodities. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. That was taken directly from the Barrick website in response to a chain email Barrick deems misleading. The Water Users Cooperative is also known as the Junta de Vigilancia. A few things should be known about the Junta, especially when it is used in the same paragraph as "democracy.". The Junta formed after the Pascua Lama project had long been in develop...

He (Sergio) doesn't have an ounce of Diaguita blood in him," Ron said. "And neither does his wife. Sergio represents the Huascoaltino farming cooperative.

But if there's a market, there's a way, and Barrick Gold has found the way. The original plan necessitated scraping into parts of those glaciers an...
