- Nevada has witnessed many battles, but now it has become the scene of a different kind of struggle - this time between the past and the future.
US President Joe Biden wants the US to be the world leader in electric cars, which requires lithium.
But a group of Native American Indians have accused one company of moving ahead to develop a major lithium mine on the site where some of their relatives were massacred in 1865.
The mining company disputes that claim and its position has been backed by a US judge.
James Matthews listened as tribe members explained why they are so angry about the project.

I’m an engineer and the scam of electric vehicles are ridiculous, the fact that people don’t see how toxic and bad these cars are is crazy, I wanna see which engineer would say that any of this will bring anything good
Enit man fusion energy is the only way it's gonna change
I heard from an auto shop that the pollution and toxins that goes into making an EV will be more that what goes into making and driving a gasoline or diesel vehicle over the course of its whole life. Is that True?
Terrible to say these people are still been persecuted even today. It's their land.
Thought they didnt believe in land ownership? Not their land,public land being used for the public good.
Who ‘land’ is England…..
whose my dear learn how to spell
The pain of losing continues
"This is America... "
the natives really can't catch a break can they 😥
Electric vehicles no one wants.
There trying to do the same here in the United Kingdom with all the so called clean air zone's ! It's all woke bs
Greed has always been the United States government’s weakness.
No one wants to buy EV cars.
Yet another kick in teeth for these proud people. Who once’s lived in harmony with nature .
Sad.
Avarice is a sink hole in the soul that grows the more it swallows.
Love grows by being Given and it becomes a cornucopia.
If love does not prevail in humanities heart its Avarice will devour Our World.
How the hell is this OK in the name of "Green Energy gods" but our oil and NG isn't?! What FBS 🤬
Even the thought that the land considered "sacred" by natives would hinder the future of US manufacturing is insane. The future of the US's independence is infinitely more important than some pagan belief, it's actually absurd discourse is even heard on this.
Being stolen from again and again and again
Hope they don’t vote for Biden
Even if Trump gets in, it will still go on. Both don't care about the natives.
Native Americans are never discussed around the world like other cultures. These peoole have been through so much, yet never thought. Or talked about about. They are so neglegted. Nice to see that they are having some media attention.
Beautiful as far as the eyes can see. Why put that massive scar, mining, on the land? Profits above people?
May these guardians always guard our Mother, the Earth. We Euro-Americans have done great and dishonorable harm to our brothers and our Earth.
The top ten most polluted rivers are all in Africa and Asia. The countries that literally pollute the most are all in Asia and Africa. Europe and America are some of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world. We do more for the environment than anyone else. Especially in the past 100 years.
They won’t stop until they take everything from them so very wrong!! Stay strong don’t give in
Biden doesn't care
#45 "Drill drill drill" we're standing on liquid gold!
I've never seen so much fear disguised as strength like that of Europeans across the WORLD!
Nor does Trump
Maybe look at China or Russia?@@6thn5th
This. Is. Sacralidge
Disgusting.
The lithium won't last for very long and its not going to return anything as long as oil would, but we know the story with the pipeline.
So it is their Profits.
Electric cars is not good
ACCORDING TO WORLD STANDARD OF DECENCY, WE ARE CLEARLY AIMING FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL..
The American people should stop picking on the Indian nations of this country!.
Don’t say “American people.” Americans actually have a lot of respect for the natives. Place the blame on greedy corporations, not Americans.
@@RabbitWatchShop well said
@@RabbitWatchShop totally agree
@@RabbitWatchShop Think its fair to use the term American with some caution :/
Mostly British Euro scandanavian = TRUE AMERICANS ^^^ Those men & Women in the video . The Tesla ( Nikola ) car didnt need a battery it ran on a dynamo , it self charged . Lithium is unsustainable - explains why the USA should be run by said people in the video ! th-cam.com/video/XX8xlIaiLxc/w-d-xo.html
I feel sorry for the American Native, not only they are mistakenly named "Indian", because some ignorant American ancestor think He was in India. But, the robbery never end.
Aaaah, another opportunity to extort more money from the tax payer.
I'm sure many people's ancestors were massacred in that area on both sides.
Most of them did not do anything to justify it...on both sides.
But this is not the time of our ancestors...this is now.
Remember the past but don't live there.
Its not healthy.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs not gonna like this one
They failed to steal Afghan Lithium because the Afghans knew about the warpath. After twenty long years of killing and the Afgan natives won the victory and recovered their sacred lands..
And now Afghanistan has their Taliban and no benefits from the abundant lithium. Lost in two ways. Not very wise.
this is straight of the Avatar movie lol.
Fs in the chat.
avatar is basically just telling the story of western colonialism from centuries ago but with a modern sci-fi twist, so there's direct inspiration from the founding of the US as a colony for sure.
Lithium mining is an ecological disaster and electric cars are not going to solve our problems with the environment.
If they are going to mine lithium they need to at least do it on the land east of the central United States.
How about all those Americans supporting Gaza speak up to what’s happening to the Native Indians land in their own country.
Lets not forget the tribal people also did their own massacres , of their own people or other tribes.
Who are we to point the finger.
They were right!! wasnt it their land that was colonised they were trying to protect their land and people everything was taken from them
What's your point? I don't want man to mine all land on Earth
Evs are awesome
The most persecuted and oppressed people on the planet if only they had the protection certain others get
How are they persecuted?
@@Fomites because the western Christian settlers are hostile towards them and treat them illy because they are a different ethnicity who follow a different religion and have different political beliefs think that sums up the definition of persecution
@@urbananalysis380they were no Christians,Jesus never said to go and persecute and steal ,They were monsters
@@BKBS676 they were Christian’s. Just like people are today and still do that stuff.
Oh noooooo that's very bad
❤
How.
Racism
💖🙏🙏
Native Americans always have "sacred" land.
It gets even more sacred if something valuable is found there.
If all else fails then they just build a casino on it.
These people should be more grateful. The benefits western society has brought them has saved them immeasurable suffering and deaths. Living in the past as some sort of grift isn’t helping them move on. Their way of thinking is absurd.
@jimthompson9370 Should be more grateful for having their country stolen!
@@boota1979moral of the story, don't bring bow and arrows to a gunfight 🤷♂️
They use smart phones like everyone else……..
Uderground nuke bases in Nevada , Area 51 , S4 , the gold site - report on them next please this is the 1st decent video youve uploaded in 2 week !
Suddenly it's sacred land.
Maybe not to the younger Native Americans,but the land is certainly sacred to the older generations.
Yeah but don't forget it's good for the environment.
Money money money...greed will out.
cant allow this to happen! they’ve been oppressed for too long! Leave them alone with their land! this isn’t right! 😔
Why should THEY have borders…
It's technically the governments. Putting them on reservations was the worst thing we as a country could have done. Should of just forced assimilation
No on there Land!!!
Horses are native to Central Asia, not to America.
No horses existed in America until white European Colonists arrived with them.
These natives riding horses are as traditional as a native riding a Ducati Motorcycle or a BMW.
Yeah ur right they’ve only been doing it for 500 years then so it has no tradition to it. 4th of July is what only 250 years old so that not a US tradition then?
2024(Gregorian) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
What difference does it make if a massacre happened there? Worrying about irrelevant fuff from 300 years ago.
Big panic for lithium China doing the same in Afghan
They care so much for their sacred land, yet drive thru their reservation and It looks like a dump ground.
#FJB
Ah well they lost their land get on with it
Looking for a pay off…they’ll probably get it as well
No. Money is taken from them in the form of natural resources.
Just like Europe did across the world. It's called destabilization!
Slavery GENOCIDE and Colonization built this country.
This country is only about 250 yrs old!
What was it called before then?
Why shouldn’t they?
@@jgfreer8322 1:56 it’s “public land”
I pray my People fill in the Census report to be counted and Vote!
There's No more SOVEREIGNTY!
Sad but true
Ancestors>lithium
NO
Even if it’s true, so what? Nobody alive today would have any personal experience of anyone involved.
They use to say savage
So?
NO MORE EV
