Juukan Gorge blasting, one year on: Traditional Owners warn action is needed to prevent another tragedy

Share on Twitter The Traditional Owners of the Juukan Gorge rock shelters are marking the one-year anniversary of the sacred site s destruction with a warning that government and industry need to act quickly to prevent another tragedy . Mining giant Rio Tinto blew up the 46,000-year-old rock shelters in Western Australia s Pilbara region on 24 May last year to extract $188 million worth of high-grade iron ore. The incident devastated the Traditional Owners, the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people, and prompted a global backlash. PKKP Aboriginal Corporation spokesman Burchell Hayes says governments and mining companies are still not doing enough to protect sacred sites.
