Apache Stronghold: Warm Welcome by Paiute and Shoshone, on Prayer Journey to Supreme Court


Apache Stronghold received a warm welcome from Paiute and Shoshone at Fort McDermitt, with songs and a meal. But the gates were locked for people of prayer to Peehee Mu'huh, the Paiute Massacre Site, where the Canadian company Lithium Americas is digging into the sacred site for lithium in northern Nevada.

Apache Stronghold traveled to the Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone Nation on August 6, 2024 as the second stop on their Prayer Journey to the Supreme Court to Stop the Shattering of Human Existence and Protect Mother Earth. While there, they reconnected with the People of Red Mountain for prayer and ceremony. They also traveled to Peehee Mu’huh (Thacker Pass), a sacred site currently being desecrated and damaged by a lithium mine, despite long-term and ongoing efforts by the People of Red Mountain to stop the mine from happening.

In the dirty business of faking green energy, Interior Department head Deb Haaland is being sued by the Hualapai Tribe for approval of a lithium mine targeting their sacred spring. It is the same lithium mine where an Australian company has hired the head of a Navajo Nation enterprise to lead the drilling for lithium and violating the sacred.

Deb Haaland, Laguna Pueblo, is now being sued by three tribes in Arizona for ongoing destruction of religious and historic places, sacred places where Tohono O'odham, San Carlos Apache, and Hualapai have offered their prayers since time immemorial.
