RE:RE:RE:RE:Finally... explanation for why Hollister / Hatter GrabenIt seems from the link below, that Waterton rode roughshod over historic tribal aites, in order to obtain their permit / powerline to enhance the sale value to KDX. It is possible that Huet (...... Paul to the Tribal elders) has sought a working relationship whereby KDX collaborates with the Shoshone in order to enable them to protect their heritage, whilst KDX mines sensitively. It could be that Huet / Waterton were playing at Good Cop / Bad Cop.

source above - Huet’s plans for his company’s tenure in Tosawihi encompass more than the gift of the land. At the mine, which is several dozen miles from the tract to be transferred, Klondex employees are coordinating with tribal cultural experts so they can work around the area’s many artifacts and sacred places—medicine-plant gathering areas, vision-quest sites, healing springs, ancient rock shelters, rock hunting blinds where hunters would hide and wait for prey, prehistoric campsites, and more. Holley says Klondex’s approach to working the site and dealing with the local community shows a “night and day” difference from that of previous mining companies. As Rural America In These Times has reported, the company that immediately preceded Klondex, Carlin Resources, aggressively dismissed tribal concerns. The company allowed employees to stand around, snickering, when elders came to the area to pray and hold ceremonies. In early 2016, it wiped out 12 miles of an ancient doctor’s healing trail, along with the medicinal plants he cultivated alongside it. This was done to make way for a power line that Holley says could have been installed far less destructively. It could have even been buried, he says.
