“We’re going to win at the end of the day. We have lawyers. We’re spending a million-plus a month on lawyers in Washington to win the game at the end of the day. We’re here to make a fortune. I’m not here for chump change,” said Robert Dickinson, chairman of Northern Dynasty Minerals, the company behind Pebble Mine. “I’m 73, you know, so I’ll be healthy until I’m 80 years old, maybe, hopefully. Seven more years, you got to be selfish. It’s all about Bob.”
Asked in the covertly filmed conversation with the Stricklands why the mine hadn’t cleared all its regulatory hurdles, Dickinson blamed the slow process on locals around the mine, particularly “uneducated” Indigenous people. He then launches on a racist tirade against Indigenous people, comparing them to rodents and saying they know that if “they scream, they yell, they’ll get a check” from the government.
