Gary McKinney, a spokesman for People of Red Mountain and a member of the nearby Duck Valley Shoshone-Paiute Tribe, walks near Sentinel Rock on April 25, 2023, outside of Orovada, Nev. The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony is abandoning its 3-year lawsuit aimed at blocking a lithium mine currently under construction at Thacker Pass in northwest Nevada. Tribal leaders say the U.S. Interior Department refuses to accept their arguments that the mine's on a sacred site where more than two dozen Paiute and Shoshone ancestors were massacred in 1865.
