YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Nevada 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.
