"The driver of the truck that killed #Paiute journalist Myron Dewey is an engineer with the same Reno, Nevada, mining company that did the initial testing for #LithiumMining at #Hualapai's ceremonial spring in #Arizona. The #HualapaiNation filed a federal lawsuit against Interior Sec. #DebHaaland for the mining permit issued to an Australian company."

The Dirty Secrets: #Whales, the #GrandCanyon and #WarCriminals

"People who travel the world will tell you two things that they really love: Whales and the Grand Canyon.

"The majestic Orca whales are now at risk from the massive oil tankers departing the shores of British Columbia with thick crude oil from Alberta tar sands in Canada, bound for distant refineries and ports.

"Meanwhile, in the heart of the Southwest, the Grand Canyon, loved by the people of the world, now has a uranium mine spewing radioactive dust into the air, and endangering Havasupai's aquifer and future generations.

"Neither the Appeals Court in Canada, nor the U.S. EPA and Interior have done anything to stop these assaults on the most beloved natural wonders in the world, whales and the Grand Canyon.

"Rueben George, səlilwətaɬ, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, remembers the long fight to halt the Trans Mountain Pipeline, now carrying crude oil from Alberta tar sands to the Salish Sea, which flows off the shores of British Columbia and Washington State to the Pacific.

"George said they thought they were winning their case in Canada's Appeal Court.

"'They said you're right it's going to kill all the Orca whales, you're right -- but we're going to build it anyway,' George said at the Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle in November.

"The uranium mine in the Grand Canyon is now spraying radioactive dust on Havasupai's medicine plants, and into the air for the world's travelers to breathe. The uranium mine, operated by Energy Fuels of Canada, threatens the aquifer of Havasupai and future generations.

"The mine's radioactive truck transport is a deadly risk for Supai, Paiute, Dine', Hopi and Ute on the haul route. The radioactive ore is transported by truck to the Energy Fuels mill in the White Mesa Ute community in southeastern Utah.

"Interior's Deb Haaland, who is Laguna Pueblo and Norwegian, has not only failed to halt the deadly risks and destruction, but has proclaimed that the atomic bomb industry, Los Alamos National Laboratory, will lead the green 'energy transition.'

"Los Alamos Labs produces nuclear weapons and is already poisoning the Pueblo homelands in northern New Mexico with radiation. A federal judge recently halted the push to produce and store more plutonium at the site, citing a risk to the environment."

O'odham Woman Becomes Hero When Genocide Joe Comes to Town

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 25, 2024

"In the #GilaRiver Indian Community today, Biden claimed to be issuing an apology to #NativeAmerican children who were victims of U.S. #BoardingSchools. His glory campaign was short-lived.

"As Biden spoke, an O'odham woman held up this sign: 'There Are Still Babies in Mass Graves. Your Apology Means Nothing!! #LandBack!'

"Calling out to Biden, she said, 'What about the people in #Gaza! What about the people in #Palestine?'

"'How can you apologize for a #genocide while actively committing a genocide in Palestine! #FreePalestine.'

"Security removed her."

[Photos] Protect Ha'Kamwe' Stop Big Sandy #LithiumMine Protest Walk
"#WaterIsLife!" #Hualapai say as they march today to protect their sacred ceremonial place Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'Water is life!' Hualapai said as they marched to protect their sacred ceremonial place, Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'For generations and through modern day, Tribal members have used Ha’Kamwe’ (also known as Cofer Hot Spring) for cultural and traditional purposes. It features prominently in tribal songs and stories about their history and connection to their land, including those known as the #SaltSongTrail,' the Hualapai Tribe said in its lawsuit filed against the U.S. Interior.

"Hualapai filed suit against Interior's #DebHalaand. The CEO of the so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany, a tribal enterprise based in Farmington, New Mexico, was hired by an Australian company, #Hawkstone, aka #ArizonaLithium, to drill into Hualapai's sacred site for lithium.

"While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, #investors heard how much money they can make mining lithium in Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager was excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.

"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at Arizona Lithium, owned by #HawkstoneEnergy, in Perth, Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'

"Federal judge #DianeHumetewa Hopi, granted a temporary restraining order. Humetewa is the first federal judge in Arizona to halt #Haaland's runaway train of permits for destruction.

"Hualapai's lawsuit said the Interior's #BureauOfLandManagement, BLM, never consulted Hualapai before authorizing #drilling."
