The federal government had selected the mountain to become the nation’s primary dumping ground for deadly, high-level <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWaste</span></a>, but the long-contested project is at last on its way to being closed. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternShoshone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternShoshone</span></a> fight off federal efforts to sell their land in order to give multinational <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corporations</span></a> access to its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mineral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mineral</span></a> resources. But the Western Shoshone stand firm. Raymond Yowell, Chief of the Western Shoshone National Council, said, 'Western Shoshone title is still intact… We’ve never accepted their money and never will — our land, the earth mother is not for sale and we will protect her and continue our responsibilities as caretakers under the Creator’s law.'</p><p>The Land and Its People</p><p>"Yucca Mountain is located within the Western Shoshone Nation and has long been a place of powerful spiritual energy for the Shoshone and the Paiute. To the Western Shoshone it is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SnakeMountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SnakeMountain</span></a>, a place with rock rings that transmit prayers to the Great Spirit and messages back to the people. The late Shoshone spiritual leader Corbin Harney told a traditional story that Snake Mountain will one day be awakened and split open, spewing out poison. This prophecy may predict the potential disaster of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/volcanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>volcanic</span></a> activity and nuclear waste leakage. Shoshone ancestors are buried in the mountain and the water in the area is sacred, as it is with many desert peoples.</p><p>"The 60 million acres of Western Shoshone territory in Nevada, Idaho, Utah and California, which includes Yucca Mountain, was never deeded to the U.S. government. According to the 1863 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RubyValleyTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RubyValleyTreaty</span></a> that the Shoshone signed with the government, most of the area now used by the U.S. military for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWeapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWeapons</span></a> testing and the proposed waste storage site was explicitly recognized as Shoshone land. However, the U.S. government now claims 80 to 90 percent of it, meaning that the Shoshone are unable to control what happens on their ancestral land. Legislators continue to try to persuade the Shoshone to accept financial compensation for this land, which most view as a way to extinguish aboriginal title and preclude future land claims, easing the way for renewed nuclear weapons testing and waste storage, as well as resource <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/extraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extraction</span></a>.</p><p>"In the late 1970s government scientists began to study Yucca Mountain as a possible repository for nuclear waste, and since 1987 it has been the only site considered for 77,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. While the Yucca Mountain Project has been debated, the amount of nuclear waste needing burial has already surpassed what the repository was designed to hold. In the meantime, nuclear waste continues to sit in steel-lined pools or casks near power plants throughout the country that produce 2,000 tons of high-level waste per year. The waste is lethal for 10,000 years and dangerous for 250,000 years."</p><p>[...]</p><p>"The Yucca Mountain Project calls for the highly radioactive nuclear waste to be encased in steel containers and buried deep in the mountain. Since the canisters will last for 1,000 years at most, the dryness of the mountain will have to guarantee against leakage and migration — an assumption that environmentalists and many scientists say is flawed and dangerous. Surface water percolating into the mountain will carry radioactive particles into the water table and render it toxic. This water table currently supplies water to local communities and farming regions that produce food products for the entire country.</p><p>"In 2005, Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman confirmed that internal department e-mails allude to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/falsification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>falsification</span></a> of data on how quickly water flows through Yucca Mountain. This revelation caused a federal investigation, and condemnation from Congress triggered the Department of Energy to completely reorganize the project and lay off 500 employees. Robert Hager, attorney for the Western Shoshone, said that the Yucca site would have been disqualified years ago if the true nature of the subterranean water flow was known.</p><p>"With several local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FaultLines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaultLines</span></a> and a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/volcano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>volcano</span></a> nearby, earthquakes make it likely that the mountain will fracture the repository and send even more water to the waste.

Major construction on the lithium mine is scheduled to start in 2024, while production is expected to begin in late 2026, say Lithium Nevada officials.</p><p>"In the order, filed earlier this month, U.S. District Judge <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MirandaDu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MirandaDu</span></a> dismissed the tribe’s claim that the mine’s approval violates federal preservation law and land policy.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Du" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Du</span></a> ruled the three Native American tribes’ failed to prove that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BureauOfLandManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BureauOfLandManagement</span></a> did not adequately consult with them, as required by the National Historic Preservation Act, which gives tribes the right to consultation when a project affects areas of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/religious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religious</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cultural</span></a> significance.</p><p>"However, the judge gave the tribes a month to amend their complaint, which claims construction of the lithium mine in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThackerPass</span></a> near the sacred site of a 1865 massacre violates <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FederalLaw</span></a>.</p><p>"The three litigating tribes — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SummitLake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SummitLake</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Paiute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paiute</span></a> Tribe, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenoSparks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenoSparks</span></a> Indian Colony, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BurnsPaiute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BurnsPaiute</span></a> Tribe — refer to Thacker Pass as “Peehee mu’huh” which translates to 'rotten moon' in honor of their ancestors who were massacred by the U.S. Cavalry in 1865 in an area of the pass shaped like a moon. </p><p>"In a ruling in 2021, Judge Du said evidence presented by the tribes that a massacre took place in Thacker Pass 'further highlights the shameful history of the treatment of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericans</span></a> by federal and state governments' but 'does not definitely establish that a massacre occurred' within the proposed project site.</p><p>"All three tribes claimed the BLM withheld crucial information from relevant agencies and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/misrepresented" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misrepresented</span></a> the extent of the agency’s tribal consultation before approving the lithium mine project.</p><p>"The government dismissed those claims by arguing they have satisfied federal law by consulting with relevant tribes prior to approving the mine, and by continuing that consultation with tribes after the mine’s approval. </p><p>"Du agreed with the government’s argument and dismissed the tribe’s legal challenge, but left room for the tribes to amend their complaint related to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalHistoricPreservationAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalHistoricPreservationAct</span></a> and further explain their claim that the BLM was legally required to complete the consultation process before approving the project. Du also gave the tribes space to amend their claim on how the government might have violated the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.</p><p>"Part of the tribe’s lawsuit seeking to block construction of the mine is still pending at the 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals, where oral arguments will be heard in February [2024].</p><p>"Will Falk, representing the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, said consultation should have been completed before construction began to avoid or mitigate harm to the sacred site.</p><p>"Tribal attorney’s on the case are still considering whether to amend the complaint by the Dec. 9 deadline or focus on their pending appeal, said Falk.</p><p>"'We are very disappointed that the court is allowing Lithium Nevada to destroy the site of an 1865 massacre of Paiute peoples and a whole Traditional Cultural District before the Bureau of Land Management finished consulting with tribes,' Falk said. 'While <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> is a very real, existential threat, if government agencies are allowed to rush through permitting processes to fast-track destructing mining projects like the one at Thacker Pass, more of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaturalWorld</span></a> and more Native American culture will be destroyed.' </p><p>"The new ruling is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for opponents of the lithium mine. Over the summer, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to vacate federal land managers’ approval of a lithium mine, ruling that the U.S. government took a sufficiently 'hard look' at the project’s impacts before approving it.</p><p>"Before that, Du also ruled largely in favor of Lithium Nevada and the Bureau of Land Management in a consolidated case involving claims brought by environmental groups, a local rancher, and two Native American tribes.</p><p>"'We’ve dedicated more than a decade to community engagement and hard work in order to get this project right, and the courts have again validated the efforts by Lithium Americas and the administrative agencies,' said Tim Crowley, the vice president of government and community relations for Lithium Nevada, in a statement."</p><p><a href="https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2023/11/21/judge-again-rules-against-tribes-effort-to-stop-lithium-mine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nevadacurrent.com/2023/11/21/j</span><span class="invisible">udge-again-rules-against-tribes-effort-to-stop-lithium-mine/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RespectTheTreaties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RespectTheTreaties</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumAmericas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LithiumAmericas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenPitMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenPitMining</span></a></p>

'So, if any tribes or anybody wanted to mitigate that destruction, what are we going to mitigate?'</p><p>"Between 1864 to 1868, there were concerted efforts by the federal government to massacre Native Americans in the Great Basin area, a part of history not taught in schools and often ignored, Eben said.</p><p>“'The world needs to know that an important historical event occurred there, and that the Bureau of Land Management is not following the National Historic Preservation Act, one of the federal laws that has to be followed during a project like this.
