- Ayr Interview, June 2, 2020

- Ayr; Dan Kerr
- Description
- Ayr discusses how he was going to visit friends and family across North America, but is no longer able to do this because of COVID-19. He said COVID-19 hasn't had a huge impact on him, and he did get to extend a visit to family in Texas once the virus hit the US, helping out his nieces and nephews with school work. The knowledge that life is a gift has kept him going through this time, which is not too big a change for him from "normal" times. He is trying to look for and focus on positivity during this time while staying with his mother. He hopes that our western, North American society continues learning to live in a different way, especially in terms of caring for the environment and each other, focusing on personal connections.

- Gold Mining In Serra Pelada
- Date

- Creator
- Nickelsberg, Robert
- Description
- An overview of the gold mine at Serra Pelada shows between 80,000 to 100,000 miners digging out bags of ore that were carried by hand to the surface in Serra Pelada, Brazil, July 15, 1985. Badly planned mining explorations in the 1980s, including at Serra Pelada, led to serious environmental consequences such as heavy water contamination from mercury. Conflict between prospectors and Indigenous populations who live around the mines remains a persistent issue in the Amazon region.

- Serra Pelada Gold Mine In Brazil's Para State

- Creator
- Nickelsberg, Robert
- Description
- A foreman oversees a mining plot at the bottom of the Serra Pelada gold mine in Serra Pelada, Brazil, July 15, 1985. Each plot owner had a claim of 6.6 feet (2 meters) by 9.8 feet (3 meters). Multiple plots were bought and sold. Up to 80,000 mine workers, or garimpeiros, worked in the mine during the peak production period of the mid-1980's. After numerous land slides and lack of enforcement of safety and health measures, the mine was closed by flooding the open pit area. A Brazilian joint venture headed by Colossus Minerals, Inc and COOMIGASP was granted a license to open the mine in mid-2013. Serra Pelada was home to the largest gold rush in Latin American history from 1979-the mid-1980's.
