Our country stretches from the Mojave Desert in the south to the Snake River in the north defined by the Treaty of Ruby Valley, the only ratified treaty in California and Nevada that is in full force and effect. We have made extensive comments to federal agencies, protested with tens of thousands of people and brought lawsuits over many decades to address the abuse, hazards and threats posed by nuclear weapons, nuclear waste and uranium – that both, disproportionately and adversely affect the Shoshone people.
