"The desecration of the sacred Paiute Massacre site by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumAmericas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumAmericas</a> of Canada is proceeding because federal laws do not protect massacre sites.

He called for support from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthDakota</a> and elsewhere to bring this desecration to the forefront. "'We lost the lawsuit because the law favors <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mining</a>, especially in this state,' Chaimrnan Melendez said. 'Without water, there is no life,' said Dean Barlese, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PyramidLakePaiute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PyramidLakePaiute</a>, who offered the opening traditional prayer honoring all created things, all sacred creation. 'We're teaching our young people these prayer songs.'"'Our songs are still out there on the land.'"Chairman Melendez said they are concerned about the crime that the mine will bring to Fort McDermitt region, in a rural area, including man camps, especially with the concern for missing and murdered women. The lithium boom is like the gold rush, the whole state has lithium deposits, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nevada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nevada</a>'s 28 bands and tribes are sure to be affected. Already, sacred sites are being desecrated by lithium mining.

DoomsdaysCWGroup outraged as controversial mining project breaks ground on site of massacre: ‘[We] were not consulted’Rick Kazmer Sun, November 19, 2023"A lithium mine is being constructed on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nevada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nevada</a> land that’s culturally important to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a>. The project by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumAmericas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumAmericas</a> is at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThackerPass</a>, where on Sept. 12, 1865, United States soldiers massacred Native Americans, killing up to 50 people, according to the Guardian."Now, 158 years later, the Thacker Pass area has been identified as having the country’s largest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lithium</a> lode. But members of tribal communities who consider the land sacred told the Guardian that they have been left out of the discussion as the operation moves forward, a point contested by the company on its website.“'All the people here on the reservation were not consulted when this mine was approved,' Dorece Sam, a descendant of one of three survivors of the massacre, told the newspaper. Why is lithium important? "Lithium is a key part of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/batteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#batteries</a> that power electric vehicles <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EVs</a> and other tech. Much of it is refined on the other side of the world, with Australia and China among the leaders. The U.S., however, is among the global leaders in underground lithium reserves, with more than 13 million tons, according to Visual Capitalist, an online data collector."Proponents of mining the untapped U.S. reserve cite the need to gain independence from China for lithium and other metals, a goal marked at the highest level of our government."LithiumMining, however, can be invasive. Native Americans interviewed by the Guardian said that since it’s happening on sacred land, it’s an invasion of the highest order."'You can’t blow up a mountain and call it green,' Max Wilbert of Protect Thacker Pass said in a press release quoted on the Sacred Land Film Project website.What’s the impact? "Mining at Thacker Pass is projected to use about 1.7 billion gallons of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a>, producing more than 66,000 tons of lithium a year, per the Guardian."Company officials claim on their website that the project has been planned for a decade with input from tribal leaders. They plan to permanently employ 500 people for at least 40 years, generating $8 billion in tax payments during the mine’s lifetime."At least two tribes have lawsuits filed against the project. However, tribal historic preservation officer Michon Eben told the Guardian that activity on the land is already disturbing."'So, if any tribes or anybody wanted to mitigate that destruction, what are we going to mitigate?' Eben said to the newspaper, noting frustration with the court system. What’s being done to help?"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Noninvasive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Noninvasive</a> lithium mining, or alternatives to the metal for use in batteries, is in the works in labs worldwide. The right solution could eliminate the need for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mining</a>, or lithium, altogether."To help Native Americans protect Thacker Pass, you can research their story. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredLandFilmProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacredLandFilmProject</a> has several ways to help, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fundraising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fundraising</a>, calling <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#media</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/officials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#officials</a>, and sharing the story on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> to highlight the cause."Article source: <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/group-outraged-controversial-mining-project-110000784.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/group-outraged-controversial-mining-project-110000784.html</a>Link to Sacred Land film project: <a href="https://sacredland.org/thacker_pass/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sacredland.org/thacker_pass/</a>Take action: <a href="https://www.protectthackerpass.org/take-action/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.protectthackerpass.org/take-action/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopThackerPass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenPitMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenPitMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectPeeheeMuhuh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectPeeheeMuhuh</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumNevada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumNevada</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericanHistory</a>
