    Hello,

    My name is Blaine Grinder, I am from the Tsilhqot’in Nation, Canada, I am inquiring how we may be able to get a documentary on our mining issue in Canada on your site?
    I first Have to get permission with Raven Trust the organization that made this but I believe it will be no problem, Our documentary I believe can contrast the issues on how Canadian mining companies are affecting the worlds limited waters systems, also raise the question on why many major mining companies are benefiting by setting up shop in Canada? we should be able get a shorter version than the one web site I have provided, I will be attending the Forum and will have copies for sale as well to help fund our fight to protect our waters,

    Thanks for your time and interest,

    Blaine Grinder
