 Sometimes when I feel lost, I look up in the stars and I feel guided. My ancestors have walked the same path. And I want the next generation, the next generation after that to feel that same way. The land is our identity. By taking the land, you're taking away the people. We feel that this is a sacred site here. And I tell my children that without Mother Earth, who knows where we would be? And for Lithium Nevada to come in and dig, it would be like cutting your own Mother Earth. Mass extraction is destroying ecosystems. Not only are we putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but also almost all the water they use is going to be gone. My fear is that we swap one technology for another and we don't address the underlying concerns and that in 50 years we're like, oops, that didn't work. Attack Niagara Pass! When the colonizers first came over here, we started to see the cycles of assimilation, genocide, stripping the people of their identity, of their land, of their tribal resources. These cycles are continuous. What's going to be the next new thing? Right now it's Lithium. Mother Earth is all we have. To take the Lithium out of its ground is another form of genocide or cultural genocide. Our people were massacred there where the proposed mine is going to take place. We are Earth protectors for all our relations. That's what we're called to do, to stand up to protect our children and our elders and our way of life.
