In a remote region of Humboldt County, Nevada, the People of Red Mountain — Paiute, Shoshone, and Bannock people from Fort McDermitt Tribe — are fighting against President Biden’s climate-change agenda by seeking to stop the extraction of lithium from the Thacker Pass Mine.
This week, while Biden is campaigning in California touting his “climate credentials” with “the most aggressive climate action ever,” the People of Red Mountain are preparing for next week’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals hearing on the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine as they attempt to stop the destruction of what they deem to be sacred land.
The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection issued air, water, and mining permits in February of 2022 for the proposed Thacker Pass Lithium Mine Project. As part of the decision, no mining will be allowed below the water table. The permits were issued after months of an extensive application review and revision process. However, the People of Red Mountain were not satisfied with the results and filed a lawsuit to protect the spiritually significant land of Peehee Mu’huh, or Thacker Pass.
According to a report by Mighty Earth, the mine site has a “history of massacres resulting in many ancestors’ bodies buried in the land.” The report claims that the government failed to adequately consult with regional tribes in consideration of any cultural impacts the mining would have on the sacred site and to any of the indigenous peoples spiritual practices.

FYI to the natives: all land on earth is stolen land.
Now President Retard is oppressing the Indians
They should stop voting libtard
“Native Americans: Domestic Lithium Mining Is “Green Colonialism””
Take that, China!!!! We don’t need your Lithium, as we’re PERFECTLY CAPABLE of mining our own! Well, if the Leftists here permit it, that is.
Great White Prick in Washington still giving red man the long shaft.
Well said.
Indeed. The kkkommiecrat party is nothing but hucksters and frauds.
It’s all sacred land until the tribes get enough money.
You bought into the “renewable energy” scam hook, line and sinker, didn’t ya?
The Neanderthals would be filing lawsuits—but they got wiped out before they had a chance....
Yeah.
“You bought into the “renewable energy” scam hook, line and sinker, didn’t ya?”
LOL.
ALL???
President Retard speaks with fork tongue and crossed eyes
Yep, all the way back to after Adam and Eve left Eden.
No new copper mine on Apache land. This lithium mining on another sacred site. In NH there is a massive lithium deposit that can’t be mind because of the state’s ban on pit mining. NIMBY rules for me in USA but not outside the US. I bet we can more safely mine the needed minerals here than in the Philippines, Africa, and South America and not be beholding to anyone else.
The White Man Still Speaks With Forked Tongue
Wait till the wind companies destroy the Wind River Reservation...
Neanderthal people (the first White people) were wiped out by invaders from Africa. Blacks owe me reparations for their near genocide of my ancestors.
