ORVADA, Nevada -- Ox Sam Camp's Sacred Eagle Staff and Ceremonial Items
were illegally confiscated and in the possession of Lithium Americas of
Canada security before these were retrieved after the raid on the camp.

Dorece Sam, Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone, said that Auntie Josephine
retrieved the Eagle Staff, and they now have their Eagle Feathers,
Ceremonial Items, and Ceremonial Tipi after these were confiscated during a
raid on Ox Sam Camp, led by Humboldt County Sheriffs Dept.

Lithium Americas had the Eagle Staff upside down in a trash bag. The Eagle
Staff was being held at Lithium Americas security building.

Sam said they blessed it after it was returned. The tents and personal
items were not returned.

Lithium Americas has just filed a SLAPP lawsuit against Paiute Shoshone
protectors of the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass.

Humboldt County Sheriffs Department and Lithium Americas raided the camp
and violated federal law by confiscating Ceremonial Eagle Feathers, and
arresting and terrorizing a young Dine' woman during law enforcement
transport.

Lithium Americas is a foreign company based in Vancouver, Canada. Biden,
the Interior Department and the BLM are responsible for the lease

to desecrate and destroy the burial places of the Paiute Massacre Site in
northern Nevada, in violation of federal laws which protect Native American
burial places, endangered species and their habitat and groundwater. Biden
calls this "green energy."

Dorece Sam and Auntie Josephine are descendants of Ox Sam, one of the only
survivors of the 1865 Massacre of Paiute by U.S. soldiers.
