RENO, Nevada -- A march to protect the Paiute Massacre Site from lithium mining will be underway on Thursday before a coalition begins oral arguments in court.

Michon Eben, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer at Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, said the site is incredibly important to Native American history.

“Peehee Mu’huh is a sacred place where our ancestors lived and died. We still go there to pray, gather food and medicine, hunt, and teach our youth about the history of our people.”

Arlan Melendez, Chairman of the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, understands the importance of battle and massacre sites.

“As tribal leaders, it’s our responsibility to protect and honor our sacred places,” says Melendez. “Throughout US history, tribes have always been set up to lose in the US legal system against BLM. This Lithium Mine stands in the way of our roots and it’s violating the religious freedoms of our elders, our people.”
