Descendants of Ghost Dancers Protect Paiute Massacre Site from Canada's Lithium Americas
Censored News
THACKER PASS, Nevada -- Paiute and Shoshone are standing in front of Lithium Americas trucks, blocking them, to protect the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass. The United States government -- Biden, the Interior Department and BLM -- have issued the permit for the foreign corporation, Lithium Americas of Vancouver, Canada, to dig into the site where Paiute were massacred by U.S. soldiers and left here in northern Nevada.
Biden calls this "green energy" for electric vehicles. The U.S. government is violating federal laws, including those that protect Native American burial places, endangered species, and groundwater. While knowing that it is a violation of federal laws, a federal judge has ruled in favor of the foreign corporation and is allowing the lithium mine to proceed.
Now, Paiute and Shoshone defenders of this sacred place, who have protected it with their bodies, and were almost slammed into by mining trucks, have been served with restraining orders and must appear in court during June.
