3:34Now PlayingNevada 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.
