[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Nevada is rich in lithium and has attracted many investors and companies looking to extract the soft metal used in electric car batteries

  • Data shows that there have been more than more than 17,000 placer claims on lithium sites in Nevada

  • Three-quarters of the sites sit on tribal land, including Thacker Pass that is set to be mined being one of them

  • In 1865, Native Americans were killed at the site by government officials
