COAL

Tourists stroll Thrusday, May 16, 2013, past the markers on Last Stand Hill, where George Armstrong Custer met his end, June 25, 1876. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument sits on the Crow Reservation in southern Montana. Pending new ports for shipment to Asia through either the U.S. or Canada, Cloud Peak Energey hopes to open new high-grade coal mines on and near the Crow Reservation in southern Montana. The tribe is equally hopeful the new mines would bring long-awaited economic stability to the tribe. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
