John Redhouse, Dine', remembers Larry Casuse, Dine', and the movement for the people which Larry sacrificed his life for.

Larry had a "certain light around him," John remembers. Larry was a rising star and a leader. "He was a leading voice," John said, remembering Larry as a voice against the exploitation by the Gallup Ceremonial and Peabody Coal mining on Black Mesa, which the Navajo government had sold out to. Even back then, Larry spoke of the need for solar and wind as energy sources.

"When your back is against the wall, you have to fight back," John said. It is necessary to strike back like a snake to defend the sacred.

Robert Free and Sid Mills lead the escort of the attorney general into Wounded Knee, for one of the rounds of negotiations.

Lithium Americas announced this morning it is beginning construction on the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass. As usual, an environmental impact statement was rubber-stamped, and the courts complied with the corporation. -- Censored News

Calling it consultation, Lithium Americas held a meeting with Fort McDermitt Paiute in their community in northern Nevada in February. Earlier, the tribal chairman and his family members were hosted by Lithium Americas during a facility opening in Reno in 2022. Fort McDermitt Paiute community members said they were never told of an agreement made with Lithium Americas by some members. Paiute and Shoshone protested outside the federal court in January, but the court failed to halt the lithium mine. Three Native American Nations have filed another lawsuit to halt it -- the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, Burns Paiute Tribe and Summit Lake Paiute. On Wednesday, a federal appeals court refused to issue an emergency injunction to halt the lithium mine, which is being pushed as "green energy" by the Biden administration. -- Censored News
