The Bristol Bay Native Corp. board voted Friday to oppose the development of the massive copper and gold Pebble prospect in Southwest Alaska, given "the unquantifiable impacts the project could have on the natural resources of the Bristol Bay region."

This is a developing story. Check back later for details.
---------------------------

This is the Native Corporation with both the most to gain and the most to lose. The promises of jobs were not well received when the actual numbers hit the table coupled with the realization most are going to be pretty technical and hiring would not come from the local population... Without reward no amount of risk makes sense...
