#ThackerPass #protesters seek dismissal of lawsuit by #LithiumNevada on #freespeech grounds
By: Bob Conrad, August 23, 2023
"The Thacker Pass protesters who were hit with a lawsuit filed by Lithium Nevada are seeking to get the case dismissed. The defendants last week filed a motion to dismiss the case claiming they were exercising their right to free speech.
"Lithium Nevada, which is building the Thacker Pass lithium mine, sued the protesters in late June.
"The company said activists and members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute #Shoshone Tribe have attempted to block construction at the mine site.
"'Despite multiple warnings from law enforcement not to block public roads, Defendants have continued to do so,' the lawsuit alleges. 'Indeed, Defendants have proudly broadcasted their defiance of law enforcement on social media.
"The defendants disagreed with Lithium Nevada’s claims.
"'The Defendants opted to exercise their constitutional rights and went to the Mine site to pray for their ancestors as #LNC destroyed those ancestors’ final resting places, destroyed culturally significant lands formerly used for subsistence and self-preservation,' they wrote in their motion. 'It is appropriate to analyze whether LNC has established the elements of its claims for relief within the limitations imposed by the First Amendment.'
"They also disputed LNC’s claims of violence and vandalism.
"'As a #sacred site is being bulldozed, non-violent protesters are being criminalized by a foreign mining company,' said attorney Terry Lodge, representing the defendants. 'My clients were engaged in #protest that is clearly protected by the U.S. Constitution. This is #corporate greed and bullying.'"

"#NativeAmericans have used #PinyonPine and #juniper trees for food, medicine and ceremonial purposes since time immemorial. Pinyon pine nuts are a traditional food source for area Tribes and a focal point of traditional ways of life. Tribes and their members maintain ties to historic pine-nut gathering locations and hold ceremonies coinciding with the annual pine nut harvest.
"#SpringValley is an important cultural landscape for the #WesternShoshone, both as a traditional location for gathering and ceremony, and as a site of repeated massacres by #colonizers. Two Western Shoshone Tribal elders, Delaine and Rick Spilsbury, have joined today’s litigation."

On August 11, 1978 - just 44 years ago, Congress passed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act.
This finally legalized #NativeAmerican ceremonies, which had been a federal crime for nearly 100 years by then. All manner of elders were sent to Leavenworth for the crime of praying in a sweat lodge.
You don't need to live in Florida for this history to be erased. No schools teach it.

APARTHEID IS A CRIME BY INTERNATIONAL LAW
The Israeli government legalized and practices discrimination, which legally meets the definition of the crime of apartheid, as defined in the Rome Statute, a very serious international crime.

Wet'suwet'en Testify on Police Brutality, Imprisonment, at Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 10, 2023
"Wet’suwet’en described their struggle to defend their land, waters, and rights to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in a virtual hearing. Joined by Amnesty International, representatives from the Nation described the ongoing unjust #criminalization and #harassment of #LandDefenders opposing the construction of the #CoastalGasLink (#CGL) pipeline through Wet’suwet’en territory. The Canadian government responded to the testimony of the Wet’suwet’en delegation. The testimony described the attacks on the Nation’s rights, including the right to free, prior and nformed consent to resource-extraction projects affecting their territory, as upheld in the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

Interior Sec. Haaland Supports Digging into #Paiute Massacre Site for Lithium
by Brenda Norrell, Censored News
Raided and terrorized by police, their Eagle Feathers taken, now Interior Sec. #DebHaaland has broken their hearts, imperiling future generations. Ox Sam Camp at the Paiute Massacre Site. The People of the Ghost Dancers
"Interior Sec. Deb Haaland supports digging into the burial places of massacred Paiutes for #lithium -- and said she is doing the right thing.
"AP reports that Haaland, whose department oversees Thacker Pass, said that while she supports
the right to peaceful #protests, her agency is in favor of the mine because 'the need for our clean
energy economy to move forward is definitely important.'
"Haaland told The Associated Press that when her agency inherits a project from a previous
administration, 'It’s our job to make sure we’re doing things according to the science, to the law.'
However, the Interior Department and a federal judge are violating federal laws that protect Native
American religious and burial places; #endangered species and their habitat; and the #groundwater."

#SCOTUS is deciding whether or not to overturn #ICWA. This is a law that protects Indigenous children from being taken into the #FosterSystem and adopted out of their tribes. That's a form of #HumanTrafficking and #CulturalGenocide, and it was a regular occurrence before ICWA.
The US Supreme Court has already proven itself, in no uncertain terms, willing to go against public opinion. So while I wholeheartedly recommend you take all the actions suggested in other posts on this topic, including calling the Supreme Court phone number and stating your objection, we also need #DirectAction plans in place for if ICWA is overturned anyway.
For context, I myself am white, and nothing I say here should be taken as representative of Indigenous perspectives. We need to listen to Indigenous people first.
If you're planning #adoption and you're not Indigenous, don't adopt an Indigenous child. Make sure everyone you know understands why this is important, especially those who are planning on adopting. Human trafficking is a capitalist system and relies on a market; we have to be diligent about denying the creation of that market.
If someone you know who is not Indigenous adopts an Indigenous child anyway, the first thing you should do is contact the child's tribe. Tell them where the child is, who they're with, what name they're going by, and anything else the tribal officials ask. Hopefully the child can be properly reunited with their tribe.
For those who don't get reunited, we need to make sure child-friendly Indigenous education is publicly accessible and ubiquitous. Books by Indigenous authors need to be on the shelves of every library and in every classroom. Indigenous art needs to be created and presented in a culturally appropriate manner, and everyone needs to support that process however we can: materially, financially, with appropriate publicity, etc. What Indigenous people are saying about ICWA and other issues that directly impact their communities should take priority over what non-Indigenous people say, and we should boost it whenever we see it.

#Paiute #Shoshone Court Date is Friday for Defending Massacre Site from #LithiumAmericas
May 31, 2023
Ox Sam Camp, #ThackerPass, Nevada: "I would like to ask all of you out there to kindly share this for my fellow sister warrior descendant, she stands here for her lineage through her great great grandfather Ox Sam whose family was massacred here at Thacker Pass also known as Peehee Muhu which is translated as Rotten Moon.
Due to recent events of her being served a TPO that is restricting her from accessing her Rights to her unmarked ancestral burial grounds and sacred site at Sentinel Rock by #LithiumAmerica Corporation. She now has to go back and forth to #Winnemucca 150 miles round trip where the court is being held and conducted which adds up a lot of miles and she is still looking for a Nevada attorney preferably pro indigenous rights for her legal issues filed by Lithium America a Canadian Based Corporation. So we're kindly asking you all to share these links to try and get her all the help we can do for her and to help her along as we continue to shed light and love on the current happenings at PeeHee Muhu Ox Sam Camp. (Newe Momokonee Nokutun)
Thank you for Very Much.
"The legal hearing for Dorece, Chuck, Paul, and Max is now scheduled for Friday (June 2nd) at 1:30 pm in Winnemucca. We're asking the court for an extension but it may not be granted. So that's our timeline for now. I'm not sure if supporters will be allowed in the courtroom, but if anyone wants to come out and support us feel free (although I wouldn't want to take people away from camp). For now, that's our deadline for legal representation. The situation is evolving. Thank you."

BREAKING! Feds Pause Progress Of Mine That Will Destroy Sacred #Indigenous Site
By Darren Thompson, Native News Online. May 29, 2023
"The federal government has temporarily halted plans to construct a copper mine on sacred Indigenous land in #Arizona known as Oak Flat, citing an error in oral arguments made at a March hearing.
"The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) official filed a letter to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, May 18, saying it made an error during oral arguments on March 21 when the 9th Circuit reheard #Apache Stronghold v. United States, a case that encapsulates a nearly decade-long fight to save the land sacred to the #SanCarlosApache Tribe."

#Paiute #Shoshone Protectors at Ox Sam Camp at #ThackerPass
By Ox Sam Camp Censored News, May 23, 2023
#NativeAmericans in #Nevada Are Praying Over Their Ancestors Graves. A Court Has Ordered Them to Leave or Be Arrested.
OROVADA, Nevada — For nearly two and a half years, local Native American tribes and leaders have been trying to stop the Thacker Pass lithium project, an open-pit mine that will destroy a sacred site. But despite lawsuits, rallies, regulatory hearings, and community organizing, Lithium Nevada Corporation has now begun construction of the mine at the place Paiutes call “Peehee Mu’huh,” or rotten moon.
"But the construction has not gone unopposed. On May 11th, Native Americans from the Fort McDermitt #Paiute-#Shoshone and other regional tribes set up a tipi at Thacker Pass and began prayers directly in the path of the construction of #LithiumNevada’s water pipeline. Groups of Native Americans and allies have blocked mine traffic from accessing portions of the construction site for over a week now."

Same day. Miele from Powell River joined me & fellow #environmentalists in #Nanaimo at #courthouse on #VancouverIsland to #protest against #BCNDP #NewDeathParty #CorporateGreed approved #ecocide & exploiting/tokenizing Indigenous sellouts to try to make their corporate shill game look legit when it's another step towards #CulturalGenocide & there's been very little if any genuine reparations happening.
Be wary of those who disrepect hereditary chiefs, elders & matriarchs & take govt bribes.

I don't celebrate Victoria Day anymore. Just another #colonizer created fake holiday. I don't engage in #colonial celebrations of unceded #NativeLandTheft as part of my #decolonization journey.
I see very little #landback or other #reparations actually happening for stealing & exploiting Indigenous lands & peoples & using #CulturalGenocide on #FirstPeoples (it's still happening). Shallow land acknowledgements are useless without aligning actions.

“Colonizing Our Community”: Elon Musk’s SpaceX Rocket Explodes in Texas as Feds OK New #LNG Projects
April 21, 2023
CHRISTOPHER BASALDÚ: "Rio Bravo Pipeline and SpaceX, none of these companies consulted with the original people of this land, the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas. None of them consulted with the tribe. None of them have our consent. But yet, they still want to destroy Native homelands, ancestral homelands. We never gave our consent, and they’re moving forward. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, they never consulted with the tribe. They don’t have our consent, and they’re moving forward anyway. That’s not justice. … They’re enabling Musk to destroy our lands and destroy this beautiful area. It needs to stop. These are all the histories of colonial genocide against Native people and Native lands."
BEKAH HINOJOSA: "It’s very clear that #ElonMusk moved into our border community to take over, to colonize the region. We’re clearly being exploited by a #billionaire and his pet project. You know, we are a low-income community of color. And #Texas has a long history of deregulation, of just rubber-stamping permits and approvals for any big industry, and also give out numerous tax subsidies. You know, that’s what we’ve seen with SpaceX. [I]t’s very clear that Elon Musk and SpaceX has become — you know, is becoming too big to hold accountable, and is getting away with harming our community. And what we need are real solutions. We need investments, you know, in Earth, the problems we have here on the planet, #ClimateChange. And instead, we see our tax subsidies go towards a billionaire’s pet project, for a billionaire to go to space as part of his sci-fi adventure."
