nuestra minería

Yesterday I stumbled upon a beautiful spoken word piece of Rachel's, 'Lot 8'. A fellow intern this year, Rachel visited mining communities around Guatemala then performed this poem for a G20 resistance slam last spring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_7inUJdS9FM#

Also worth a watch: human rights activist Graham Russell speaks about Canadian mining here in Guatemala on Face to Face, shedding a little light on what it means to be Canadian in Central America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71mB0JuJSpE
