"#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."
