Oregon Falls in Line with the Lithium Agenda
The State of Oregon has granted lithium exploration permits to High Tech Minerals despite strong opposition from groups across the state as well as the Great Basin. Oregon issued these permits without a public comment period. Our partners at Earthworks have posted a response to the news citing the words of People of Red Mountain member, Daranda Hinkey, and other leaders of the Protect McDermitt Caldera Coalition. Read the press release by clicking an image below.

6th Annual Commemoration
Attention friends and supporters of People of Red Mountain: we will NOT be gathering at Peehee Mu’huh for the 6th Annual Commemoration this September. We are instead asking that you honor our ancestors with prayer, reflection, and connection to land wherever you may find yourself. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to work for a better future for the land and ourselves.
