This chapter examines three ces where mining and oil investments have encroached upon resource-rich native lands, in the Philippines, Colombia, and the state of Wisconsin These are not instances where the natives have been helpless victims of progress. In all three cases, native communities organized themselves wil made alliances with a wide variety of groups to publicize their situation and apply pressure on multinational corporations, holding them accountable for their behavior toward native peoples. Multinational mining, oil, and logging corporations are now we advanced exploration technology, including remote sensing and split photography, to identify resources in the most isolated and previous inaccessible parts of the world's tropical rainforests, mountains de and from tundras.
