Native-American tribe in Nevada gears up for different kind of fight against the U-S government
A Native-American tribe in Nevada is gearing up for a different kind of fight against the U-S government, while trying to build more public support for protecting sacred tribal sites
VERBATIM:
There’s concern that culturally significant areas will be in the path of a modern-day Gold Rush driven by mining claims and green energy projects.
Among those concerned is the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony.
The tribe failed to stop a massive lithium mine at the site where more than two dozen Paiute (pron: pah-‘YOOT) and Shoshone (show-SHOW’-nee) tribes were massacred back in 18-65.
The goal NOW is to build a coalition to protect other sacred sites.
