At the White House Tribal Nations Summit today, a panel praised themselves on the great job they are doing in the Biden administration. However, Jimmy-John Thompson representing the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe in Death Valley pointed out during questions that "green energy" actually means that the land in Nevada is being targeted by foreign mining corporations pursuing lithium mining and nuclear projects, and the tribes are not benefitting.
Cheryl Andrews-Maltais, Chairwoman of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, in Massachusetts, questioned what is being done to protect the sacred from the detrimental effects of wind energy, including the submerged archaeological resources.
