When Giant mine was built the aboriginals of the region were not consulted about the project and in turn the mine had contaminated the very land the deemed sacred. Due to the contamination of the water, many of the animals that the Yellowknife Dene people relied on left the area and the social impact has been everlasting (Impact of the Yellowknife Giant Gold Mine on the Yellowknives Dene, 2005). During the early 1950’s, Giant mine and other mines within the area released around twenty-two thousand pounds of arsenic per day into the air.

    The poorly sorted nature of the conglomerates, considered with the inclusion of wood fragments in the older conglomerate members and the graded sandstones and mudstones throughout the formation suggest deposition occurred through successions of debris flows. Presence of volcanics in the lithic fragments further indicate volcanic activity in the process of sedimentation as well—as debris flows associated with lahars are the likely source of the slope failures. Deposition environment was moderate to deep marine, as mudstone deposits require low energy depositional environment, but the style of sedimentation indicate deposition was not on a continental shelf. This is further supported by inclusion of the large overturned clast from an older member within the formation. Cross-bedding, graded bedding, and scouring surfaces provide 3 lines of evidence establishing the northern contact of the formation as the original upward oriented surface.

Upon the discovery of gold in the Great Sioux Reservation, the Lakota’s sacred land was claimed by the United States National Government.
