LIVE: Prayer Action at Peehee Mu’huh /Thacker Pass Lithium Mine
Early this morning, two Paiute spiritual leaders — Dean Barlese from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, and Dorece Sam from the Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone Tribe — began a prayer for the water, the land, and future generations at Peehee Mu’huh, also known as Thacker Pass, where construction of an open-pit lithium mine is ongoing at a Northern Paiute sacred site.
A teepee is going up blocking construction of the mine and supporters have begun to gather on-site. We ask you to please share this live stream, support the grassroots effort, and get involved. Thank you.

Protesters gathered at the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Humboldt County to try and stop the project from moving forward.
Nevada is the largest lithium source in North America, and the goal is to build batteries for electric vehicles.
