As the #planet warms, purchases of #SUVs have experienced a significant surge, escalating from 20% of new #car sales in 2012 to a staggering 46% of all cars sold in 2022, according to the #IEA. If SUVs were a country, they would be the world’s 6th largest #CO2 #emitter.

“They exist at the edge of human #life in an #environment that is treated like a #toxic dumping ground by foreign #mining #companies. Millions of #trees have been #clearcut, dozens of villages razed, rivers and air #polluted, and #arable land destroyed. Our daily #lives are powered by a #human and #environmental #catastrophe in the #Congo.”

Oh goodie. What could *possibly* go wrong? #Neokolonialismus #greencolonialism

Postwar #conservatives depicted #Termination and #Relocation within an #anticommunist framework. “We are spending billions of dollars fighting #communism. . . [and] perpetuating the system of #reservations and #tribal governments, which are natural #Socialist #environments,” Montana Senator George Malone cried.

At a talk I gave recently I was asked what brings me hope about #GreenColonialism.

The short answer: #Indigenous leadership.

And secondly: It's not too late. We can still change the course of #RenewableEnergy development so it doesn't create sacrifice zones---especially on sacred Indigenous lands.

@scott Also interesting that even though they're less popular/effective, it's EVs and not e-bikes creating the demand for lithium that's putting pressure on tribes under threat of #GreenColonialism.

Update on #ThackerPass:

Wednesday, police and private security for a Canadian mining company arrested an #Indigenous protester and demolished a protest blockade erected by descendants of a survivor of the 1865 massacre at the site, according to land defenders who were there.

“The Bureau of Land Management and Lithium Nevada, they're the new cavalry.” ---Michon Eben, Reno Sparks Indian Colony cultural resource manager & THPO.

Closest town is Orovada, #Nevada.

#Indigenous leaders, including descendants of those who survived massacres at #ThackerPass, are camping in protest. As I visited, a truck arrived hauling chain link panels to fence off one of the access roads to the camp.

Indigenous leaders said they could use supplies, but more than that they need people to show up and camp with them, peacefully, prayerfully, and prepared for the possibility of arrest.

This weekend I visited #ThackerPass, where the largest lithium mine in the US is under construction on lands of cultural and historical significance to the Paiute, Shoshone and Washoe people, near the #Nevada / #Oregon border.

Impacted tribes have not given consent for the open pit mine, but the Biden administration and a federal judge have approved it to supply lithium for electric vehicle batteries.

If you've never heard about #GreenColonialism, or if you read my last article about it and want to know some behind the scenes stuff that didn't make it into the final draft, have a listen to Libby Denkman's probing, thoughtful questions on the topic as she interviewed me for KUOW Seattle's Soundside. 📻

‘Green colonialism’: Indigenous world leaders warn over west’s climate strategy

"World Indigenous leaders meeting this week at an annual #UN summit have warned that the west’s climate strategy risks the exploitation of #Indigenous territories, resources and people.
New and emerging threats about the transition to a greener economy, including mineral mining, were at the forefront of debate as hundreds of Indigenous chiefs, presidents, chairmen and delegates gathered at the 22nd United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues."

The San Carlos #Apache Tribe is asking the #UN to intervene to protect Chi’chil Bildagoteel, aka #OakFlat.

Chi’chil Bildagoteel is a holy site threatened by international copper mining companies. Copper is a key component of batteries for electric vehicles. The Obama and Biden administrations have supported industry.

San Carlos Apache say the US is failing to comply with international standards incumbent on them to protect human rights.
