NO PEBBLE MINE, Our communities, our families, clans, tribes, villages -- our lifeways are priceless, lifestyles that have thousands of years of occupancy, use, barter and trade, cultures and traditions -- PRICELESS!!!!

According to the Alaska Division of Corporations section: "the Pebble Limited Partnership is owned and controlled by Pebble Mines Corporation; that, in turn, is 50 percent owned by Anglo American U.S. (Pebble) LLC and 50 percent by Northern Dynasty Parnership. Pebble Mines Corp. owns Pebble West Claims Corp. (formerly Northern Dynasty Holdings Inc.) and Pebble East Claims Corp. (formerly Northern Dynasty Mines, Inc.).

However, Thomas says, “There may be a problem because [Anglo American U.S. Holdings Alaska, Inc.] is not really incorporated in Alaska; there is no paperwork.” Anglo American U.S. Holdings Alaska, Inc. is owned by London-based Anglo American plc Northern Dynasty Partnership, which is owned by Northern Dynasty Minerals, Ltd., which reports to Rio Tinto, another London-based mining giant, that owns a 19.8 percent share of their company. Until February, Mitsubishi owned an 11 percent interest in Northern Dynasty Minerals.
