U.S. lithium mines will impact more than just water, as reported by @nsmithdt @PaceyJournalist for @HowardCenterASU. Check out their piece on how the mines are impacting Indigenous rights to their land cronkitenews.azpbs.org/howar…
NATHPO's Valerie Grussing and Stacy Laravie (Ponca) spoke to the @HowardCenterASU about shortcomings in current law that make it extremely difficult for Tribes & THPOs to stop projects like the proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass that would damage sites sacred to Tribes. (1/4)

Indigenous communities are on the frontlines of a push to create new, domestic sources for lithium. @PaceyJournalist and I examine this push and the requirement for federal agencies to consult with tribal governments before decisions are made about mining. cronkitenews.azpbs.org/howar…
Please check out this great investigation from @HowardCenterASU! I spent over 6 months looking at legal records, historic documents, and what can be done to protect sacred sites from desecration while working with a great team of journalists.
The Howard Center’s investigation, Lithium Liabilities, aired nationally on PBS @NewsHour last night and will run in USA Today as well. The groundbreaking investigation examines how the proposed expansion of lithium mines would further deplete the water supply in the American West and other parts of the country.

On Indigenous Peoples' day, we take a look at Germany's fascination with Native American people and culture. At the same time, they have a culture of remembrance for their past actions. CFAIR's @PaceyJournalist has more on his time in Germany: cfairclub.wixsite.com/cfair/…

I've made a documentary! It tells the story of the closure of the copper mine in my hometown of San Manuel and how it affected the area. I worked with a great team of filmmakers to produce this film. You can view it here: youtu.be/WeoBT7zBGNs
