Bipartisan ‘Green Colonialism’
Republican, Democrat, all want in on lithium mining. Deb Haaland, Biden’s Secretary of the Interior and member of Laguna Pueblo, won’t even lend an ear to the concerns of Paiute, Shoshone, and Bannock people. Yet, People of Red Mountain stand, against the mine, against the corporation, against the state.
