TORONTO: Barrick Gold Protested -- Global Abuse of Indigenous Peoples and Lands

"We’re both inside and outside Barrick Gold’s shareholder meeting. We’re bringing the voices of communities around the world resisting Barrick’s violent, destructive mining projects. The protest’s cheers are clearly audible inside the meeting where 100% of the questions asked to CEO Mark Bristow have highlighted Barrick’s harm. A huge screen is also playing this video outside: youtu.be/nhF_Igpwa2I #ProtestBarrick

This is what Barrick Gold did to Bald Mountain, Western Shoshone's ancestral sacred lands in Nevada. Battling the gold mines targeting sacred Mount Tenabo, the Cortez Hills mining project, Western Shoshone Carrie Dann said, “This area is where the seasons of the year were named — in the time before people were here." Now, Nevada Gold Mines is a joint venture between Barrick and Newmont. -- Censored News.

WASHINGTON -- The rich and famous, politicians and the media, crossed the protest line to flaunt excesses at the White House Correspondents Dinner and ignored an official black SUV plowing into climate defenders on Saturday.

Today, the big media is focused on fashion and the famous, and Biden's jokes at the dinner for media correspondents. Very few media outlets have covered the protests, calling for Biden to live up to his promises of ending fossil fuels and halt the constant new permits for oil and gas leases.

Despite being threatened by Lithium Nevada with trespass for accessing her own sacred grounds, Fort McDermitt Grandmother Josephine (Sam) Dick is holding ceremony at her traditional sacred site Pee'zuh (Nipple Rock).

Grandma is a direct descendant and founder of Ox Sam Camp (named after Ox Sam who survived a massacre by the US Nevada Soldiers in 1865). The Grandmothers welcome those who come in a good way to stand in ceremony with them; the BLM and Department of Interior granted this big corporation a permit to destroy this land.

.

The Paiute Shoshone people have an inalienable right to hold ceremony here.

The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (42 U.S.C § 1996) states that it is “the policy of the United States to protect and preserve for American Indians their inherent right of freedom to believe, express, and exercise the traditional religions of the American Indian...including but not limited to access to sites, use and possession of sacred objects, and the freedom to worship through ceremonials and traditional rites.”

Executive Order No. 13007, Indian Sacred Sites

“In managing Federal lands, each executive branch agency with statutory or administrative responsibility for the management of Federal lands shall, to the extent practicable, permitted by law, and not clearly inconsistent with essential agency functions:

1. accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners and

2. avoid adversely affecting the physical integrity of such sacred sites.”
