WINNEMUCCA, Nevada -- Six people who were sued by Lithium Nevada Corporation last year for protesting the Thacker Pass lithium mine are telling their stories for the first time.

Today, each defendant in the case released a statement explaining who they are and why they took action to defend Thacker Pass, and calling for the public to support their case.

The group includes Dean Barlese, a 66-year-old spiritual leader from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe who was regularly at the protest camps before his foot was amputated due to health issues. Dean’s passion for defending the land drew him back to Thacker Pass soon after his life-changing operation, and he was on the front lines of the 2023 protests.
