Papers compiled by environmentalist Dorothy Tyra documenting the Crandon, Wisconsin mine controversy through her involvement with the Pickerel/Crane Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District, Wolf River Watershed Alliance, Wisconsin Resources Protection Council, and Wolf Watershed Educational Project. The bulk of the collection consists of subject files and newsletters documenting the anti-mining publicity campaign and grassroots political organization of environmentalists, Native Americans, and sportsmen in opposition to the proposed mine at Crandon. Native American rights and issues are a key aspect of this collection, including material related to the Midwest Treaty Network and the Mole Lake Sokaogon Chippewa.
