Australians Rush to Mine #Lithium in #Hualapai's Sacred Place, and a #Navajo Enterprise Plans to Lead the Desecration

For the Interior, BLM, and foreign mining corporations, they have little to worry about, because they know the federal judges are on the same team. They are ready to violate all federal laws protecting Native sacred sites, endangered species, and the water for mining.

SYDNEY, Australia -- "While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, investors hear how much money they can make mining lithium in #Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager is excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.

"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at #ArizonaLithium, based in Perth, #Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'

"On the other side of the world, Hualapai are offering prayers at their sacred spring, Ha’Kamwe’ their #SacredPlace for healing and rites of passage, including childbirth and coming-of-age ceremonies for young women. It has been their ceremonial place since time immemorial.

"Not far away, in Farmington, New Mexico -- a bordertown with a long history of crimes against #NativeAmericans -- a new epicenter of fake green energy projects emerges.

"The tribally-owned #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany is ready to rush in, get the drilling permits, drill, and poison the water, just a stone's throw from Hualapai's sacred hot spring.

"Vern Lund, the CEO, of the so-called 'transitional energy company' signed a formal agreement with Australia's Arizona Lithium in March, which includes joining its board. Lund is already on the board of another mining company in Texas.

"The fact is, the Navajo enterprise owns four #CoalMines, among the most polluting industries in the world. It's a fact the new green energy company seldom mentions, and is polluting the Rocky Mountain region. It owns both the Antelope coal mine and #CorderoRojo coal mine in Wyoming, the #SpringCreek coal mine in Montana, and the #NavajoMine on the Navajo Nation."

The interior dome of the Baha'i House of Worship for North America in Wilmette, Illinois. I am a bit ashamed that I snuck the photo (no cameras aloud) but I assure you, I did it most respectfully. At the center of the dome is a Baha'i symbol called the "Greatest Name," which translates as "O Thou Glory of Glories."

Photo taken on 23 February 2024.

Another exterior photograph of the Baha'i House of Worship for North America in Wilmette, Illinois. On most of the nine sides are quotes from Bahaullah. He was a prophet from 19th century Iran who, according to Baha'is, is the manifestation of God for the current age. This particular quote - "The Earth is but one Country - and Mankind its Citizens" - is a particularly important one for Baha'is.

At the absolute end of the Purple Line on the CTA overlooking Lake Michigan is the Baha'i House of Worship for North America in Wilmette, Illinois.

It is the oldest existing House of Worship for the Baha'i Faith. One of the newest world religions, the Baha'i faith emphasizes the unity of all religions, equality of men and women, and a new revelation from Bahaullah, the most recent Manifestation of God.

I came here in February because I was feeling particularly drained from work. I wanted to go to someplace quiet where I could disconnect for an hour or two. The space is peaceful and calm. It is open to all people no matter their beliefs. And when the Spring comes, the gardens around the site bloom.

Free #SydneyFestival Event:

On the evening of 25 January we will gather along the shoreline of #Barangaroo Reserve and look out across the water towards Me-Mel (formerly Goat Island).

In 2023, the annual tradition of ‘Vigil’ takes on a new form, celebrating the re-awakening of the #spirit of this precious island, which has been a key landmark of #SydneyHarbour for several hundred years and a #SacredPlace for the clans of #Eora for tens of thousands.

A night of shared emotions through songs and #songlines, a night of opening hearts and listening." - The Guardian

An Australian First Nations dancer appears, bare arms and legs, kneeling sideways in a strikingly open yet humble pose, arms outstretched toward the ground, her face looking directly at the viewer. The dancer’s body is reflected in a mirrored blue surface as bluish smoke rises behind her.

Forgotten Sacred Place ✦✦✦ The whole furrowed mountain towers high like the head of a buried titan. Every crooked tree and every mossy rock are like wrinkles in his weathered face.
