ELKO, Nevada – Western Shoshone and Navajo share a legacy that the corporate world and United States government want censored. It is the government-sponsored terrorism of Indian people for exploitation of their land, minerals and water. Carrie Dann, among the Western Shoshone fighting gold mining, nuclear testing and the seizure of livestock and land, said the United States does not view Indigenous Peoples as human beings.
“We are not even accepted as human beings by the United States government. There is no respect for humans, the earth, water and air”, Dann said at the Shoshone Nation Information Meeting, held Nov. 18 – 19 at the Elko Band gymnasium.
