9We were there, primarily, to get the word out about the Canadian silver mining operation that is poised to break ground in Wirikuta, the most sacred site of the Wixarika people, the place where, according to their tradition, the sun was born.Barnett avy amin'ny gazety niomerika The Esperanza Project: Teto aloha isika, indrindra indrindra, mba hampita ny teny mikasika ny asa fitrandrahana volafotsy ataon'ny Kanadiana izay hanimba zavatra any Wirikuta, ny toerana tena masin'ny vahoaka Wixarika, toerana izay raha araka ny fomba amam-panaon-dry zareo, dia nahaterahan'ny masoandro.
10This site is in some ways the center of their universe, the destination of an annual pilgrimage conducted for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, which culminates in a series of ceremonies convoking the ancestral spirits and balancing the energies of the entire planet.Ity toerana ity no ivon'ny tontolon'izy ireo, anton-dian'ny fivahinianana masina isan-taona efa ho anjaton-taona, mety ho anarivon-taonany maro, izay ery amin'ny faran-tampony amina laharan-danonana iantsoana ny fanahin'ny razambe sy ampifandanjàna ny herin'ny planeta rehetra manontolo.

12The online journal Intercontinental Cry published a post on the Wixarika's demands concerning the Wirikuta site, a sacred place for natives of Mexico, and the actions they are willing to take:Namoaka lahatsoratra iray ny gazety amin'ny aterineto Intercontinental Cry mikasika ny fangatahan'ny Wixarika mikasika ny faritr'i Wirikuta toerana izay masina ho an'ny teratany avy ao Mexico, ary ny hetsika tian'izy ireo hatao:
13The sanctity of Wirikuta is the Wixarika's Peoples biggest concern; however, they also point out that some 3500 people are living in the concession area, in 16 population centres and “numerous localities”.Ny fahamasinan'i Wirikuta no tena manahirana indrindra ny vahoaka Wixarika; na izany aza, asongadin-dry zareo ihany koa fa olona 3500 eo ho eo no mipetraka eo amin'io faritra iasàna io, anaty tobim-piarahamonina 16 sy “toerana maro”.
14If the silver mine becomes operational, each and every one may be facing water shortages and moderate to severe health problems from the company's use of cyanide.Raha tena mihodina ny fitrandrahana volafotsy, mety hiatrika tsy fahampian-drano ny tsirairay sy ny olon-drehetra ary hanaraka ny olana ara-pahasalamana henjana avy amin'ny fampiasàn'ny orinasa ny cyanide.
15Exposure to cyanide may cause blurred vision, severe shortness of breath, headaches and general weakness as well as paralysis, cardiac arrest, seizures and death.Mety hiteraka fahavoazan'ny maso ny fifaneraserana amin'ny cyanide, fahasimban'ny taovam-pisefoana, aretinan-doha sy aretina amin'ny ankapobeny toy ny lefa-kozatra, fo mijanona tampoka, torana ary fahafatesana.
16For these reasons, the Wixarika say they are prepared to “use all the resources necessary to stop this devastating mining project, making use of national and international legal resources that are in our favor as well as non-violent actions of civil protest that are necessary.”Noho ireo antony ireo, dia milaza ny Wixarika fa vonona izy ireo ny “hampiasa ny zavatra rehetra ilaina hanajanonana ity tetikasa fitrandrahana harena an-kibon'ny tany manimba ity, hampiasa ireo zavatra rehetra araka ny lalàna eto amin'ny firenena sy iraisam-pirenena manome rariny antsika ary koa ny hetsika tsy misy herisetra amin'ny fanoherana sivily izay tena ilaina.”

19Cultural Survival posted background information on possible problems if the project continues:Maneho vaovao avy any amin'ny olona eny ifotony mikasika ny mety ho olana raha mitohy ny tetik'asa i Cultural Survival:
20If this huge project is allowed to move forward, its impacts will be equally huge.Raha mahazo alalana hitohy ity tetikasa goavana ity, dia ho goavana hitovy amin'izay ihany koa ny fiantraikany.
21Whether they dig the ore out of tunnels or excavate open pits, the mine will produce enormous quantities of tailings that could leach acid into the environment for centuries and blight the landscape in a region whose primary source of income is tourism.Na izy ireo handavaka ny toerana ka hamoaka izany ivelan'ny tonelina na izy hangady hanao tatatra mazava, hiteraka potipotiny mety hitondra asidra amin'ny tontolo iainana mandritry ny taonjato maro foana ilay toeram-pitrandrahana ary hanimba ny tontolo taza-maso eo amin'ny faritra izay ny fizahantany anefa no tena voalohany amin'ny fidiram-bolany.
22Dust, noise, erosion, road construction, water pollution, and blasting all affect wildlife, and the region's notable diversity of bird species-including 16 that are threatened-could plummet.Vovoka, tabataba, tany mihotsaka, fanamboaran-dalana, rano maloto, ary fanimbàna ny fiainana anaty ala, ireo karazam-borona miavaka ahafantarana ny faritra - ao anatin'izany ireo 16 izay mihorohoro - dia mety ho very.
23Of most concern to the region's peasant farmers is the mine's potential impact on the water table in this semi-desert.Ny tena fiantraikan'ny fitrandrahana ny harena an-kibon'ny tany amin'ny rano fisotro no ankamaroan'ireo olan'ny mpamboly tantsaha eo amin'ity faritra somary tany hay ity.
24Mines of this size use as much water in a day as a peasant family would use in 25 years.Mampiasa rano betsaka mitovy amin'ny lanin'ny fianakaviana tantsaha iray ao anatin'ny 25 taona ny toeram-pitrandrahana harena an-kibon'ny tany amin'izao habeny izao.
25Cultural Survival also offers different ways to take action to help and raise awareness about the topic, as well as ideas on how to act through online activism.Manome vahaolana samihafa hanovana hetsika hanampiana sy hananaingàna ny fahatsapan-tena mikasika io resaka io , i Cultural Survival ary koa hevitra mikasika ny fomba hihetsehana amin'ny alalan'ny hetsika anaty aterineto.
