TUCKER PASS, Nevada — “I cried when I saw this yesterday,” said Doris Sam of Fort McDermitt Paiute as he watched the destruction of land at the site of the Paiute massacre at Tucker Pass for a lithium mine in northern Nevada. “When I saw this, my heart broke,” Sam said of the violation of the sacred. “There are no cultural monitors.”

President Biden is backing this heartbreaking excavation of the Paiute massacre at Tucker Pass. Calling this violation of the sacred “green energy”, Biden advocates the widespread destruction of lithium batteries for electric vehicles. This is actually corporate money making for a Canadian company, Lithium Americas, which has a Lithium Nevada subsidiary in the US.

This current ad features more of the toxic destruction of Lithium America as it approaches this sacred untouched region. Lithium mining will poison land, water and wildlife in the region along the Nevada-Oregon border.

The ad shows a “proposed sulfur terminal” with molten sulfur, soda ash and more hazardous chemicals; railroad tracks and wagons carrying dangerous toxins. The Bureau of Land Management, BLM, as usual, approved the environmental impact statement, allowing it to continue, and federal courts sided with a Canadian corporation to desecrate this sacred site.
