Indigenous community triumphs in suspending mining operations

Hi!, today I will write about an article of The Santiago Times. It's entitled: "Indigenous community triumphs in suspending mining operations", article published on October, 2014. Link: http://santiagotimes.cl/indigenous-community-triumphs-in-suspending-mining-operations/

This article says about the conflict of the communities of North of Chile with the mine of the corporation Goldcorp. What is the conflict? is about the contamination produced by extraction of minerals, in mines by foreign corporations, in others words, relates with ecological damage for example in rivers and contamination of water and also says about the invasion in the "sacred land" of the Diaguitas.

Why is this importart to Anthropology? Because it's about of indigenous community and your relation with the land, water and territory. Also is important to this discipline, because is a theoretical problem expressed in reality.

I think that this article is mainly informative and no contains references to experts in the field, but  tells about an unknown topic for many people and is a notice so much important (in my opinion) that other things that give on TV or newspapers.
