' “Washoe people are extremely resilient,” [Washoe tribal official Rhiana Jones] said. “All Indigenous people, with respect to genocide and being pushed out of the basin, losing access to all our cultural resources and food. The government tried to kill us off....

We’re still here ... We still want access to our traditional land. We cannot give up the fight.” '

Chukar nearly stepped on me while I was posted up waiting for Bighorn Sheep…thankfully it didn’t, I’m too ticklish and laughing would have spooked the whole covey. Chances like this don’t come along often! #BirdPhotography #washoe #nv

The chukar stares into the first beams of rising sun. Its eye is a red with a sliver of orange, nothing like the deep cherry red of the beak. The pattern of blue-grey, black, and cream that envelopes the head repeats again on the wings.

While waiting on a rugged volcanic ridge for a herd of California Bighorn Sheep I experienced an entire covey of Chukar walking thru my position. Absolutely insane to have them walking by within 5 feet while I got these shots! #washoe #BirdPhotography

Two chukar stand upon a ridge, the rising sun lighting their sides in a moderate backlight. The gently unfocused and nearest bird faces away from our view, while the object of its gaze stares intently back towards the camera’s position. I would have been more intimidated if it weren’t for the fact that Chukar look like tiny little rotund clowns, the stubby wings barely enough to hold their little white knickers up above the red stockings on their legs.

#PrayerHorseRide's Third Annual March Ride Begins March 17, in Schurz, Nevada

Reconnecting and Revitalizing #Traditional Ways of Life Threatened by Destructive #Mining Resource Extractions Supporting "#GreenEnergy"

By Prayer Horse Ride, via #CensoredNews

SCHURZ, Nevada -- "Prayer Horse Ride "#NanesootuhinaPookooGoobakatudu," is getting ready to begin our annual ride March 17th-26th, from Schurz, #Nevada through Yerington, Fallon, Wadsworth and Nixon, through Lovelock, then Orovada, and ending in #PeeheeMuhuh (#ThackerPass in the McDermitt Caldera), in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the #Paiute, #Shoshone, and #Bannock.
The Riders, walkers, and runners carry the prayer with each community. They'll move forward to raise awareness regarding lithium mining in Peehee Mu'huh and the McDermitt Caldera; AND also raise awareness to #CopperMining in the #PineNutHills, a holy place known to the #Nuwu; in honor and remembrance of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women / People (#MMIW/P) in Nevada; and to revitalize and restore cultural identity, languages, creativity, and supportive lifeways in our indigenous communities.

"Northern Nevada is the home of the #NorthernPaiute, #WesternShoshone, #Washoe, and #Bannock people. We, as descendants of them, will continue to give voices to the voiceless on #MotherEarth. To all of our relations.

"'We do this prayer ride to reconnect and revitalize our way of life,' says Josh Dini, Sr, a member of Walker River Paiute Tribe, #WaterProtector and #PrayerHorseRider, and a member of #AmericanIndianMovement Northern Nevada (#AIMNNV).

"Indigenous communities in the Great Basin and McDermitt Caldera are experiencing fast-tracked #mining and industrial development to support 'green energy,' and are threatened by #ecologically and #sociologically destructive resource extraction processes, most notably, #lithium and #copper mining, in areas in proximity to or within #communities, #reservations and #LandTrusts, and #SacredSites.

"#HeavyMetals extraction #poisons lands, air, and water. Sacred sites for ceremony, where ancestors are buried, where medicines grow, and where lifecycles are anchored, are destroyed.

"'Copper mining in our Pine Nut Hills takes away our knowledge and our identity of who we are,' says Dini, who explained the mining threatens an important Paiute medicine food, as well as numerous traditional campsites and sacred places that have been used for innumerable generations.

"'We ride in honor of the people on the land before extraction industries, past - present - and future. Here in Nevada we have places important to the indigenous culture that are considered America's sacrifice zones in search of 'green energy.'

"'We are Paiute and Shoshone allied with many of the federally recognized tribes in Nevada. We lead this prayer for Mother Earth,' says Gary McKinney, a Duck Valley Shoshone Paiute, water protector and Prayer Horse Rider, People of Red Mountain spokesperson, AIMNNV council member, and SIRGE Coalition Steering Committee member.

Prayer Horse Ride will visit #Indigenous northern Nevada communities affected by these issues including #WalkerRiver Paiute Tribe, #Yerington Paiute Tribe, #Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, #Lovelock Paiute Tribe, and #PyramidLake Paiute Tribe. As Riders reach each community, they may share meals, engage in ceremony, share stories and songs, and teach and learn traditional arts, bringing the communities together to celebrate and remember the traditional ways.

"McKinney says, 'We ride to honor the land and the people - of the past, present, and the future. #LifeOverLithium."

"About Prayer Horse Ride: Established in 2022 to honor the late #MyronDewey, Water Protector, Paiute Shoshone journalist and drone pilot, and to continue prayers for cultural sites like Peehee Mu’huh (Thacker Pass), we are an indigenous led prayer group and community service organization that advocates for our indigenous communities, to protect what we have left and to raise your awareness to what our communities face, and most importantly, in gathering tribes back together to stand in unity, not by separation.

"'We'll continue this ride in the Vision of our Ancestors, for Healing, Strength and Awareness, in Prayer and Unity.'

"Prayer Horse Riders have a story to tell and you can reach out to PHR media liaison André Wesner for inquiries: PrayerHorseRide2023@gmail.com

Thoreau described the bluebird as carrying the sky on its back, but I always viewed it as a summer sky. A subtle distinction but fitting. Seeing this Western Bluebird leaning across the stark dividing line of the rush brought to mind an old legend: the bluebird’s song scared away Tawiscara bringing an end to winter’s chill. Warmth and color returns. #BirdPhotography #washoe

The bluebird leans across a vertical cattail, its brilliant blue back the only color on the right side of the frame, to its left where it has already gone deeply saturated golden hues are found.

California Bighorn Sheep, Washoe County NV. No avoiding the reality of chasing sheep, taken on Sunday and my legs still hurt 🤣 #bighornsheep #washoe #WildlifePhotography

Two bighorns stand atop a rock staring down at the camera, their brown fur blending perfectly with the tones of the cliff above and below.

Taking a break from climbing up towards a group of bighorn sheep I saw an incredible vantage of plateau and hill, light and shadow, earth and sky. Between Mt. Rose and Slide Mtn. clouds hung like a hammock. For a brief moment the world was good again. One part of a much larger panorama from this last weekend. #washoe #photography

A volcanic plateau rises in the foreground, while dappled sunlight slides across the hills behind it. In the distance two peaks become one united by glowing clouds.

One seriously twisted Juniper in the mountains near Pyramid Lake, NV. I’m a wildlife guy, but damn if this tree doesn’t have me thinking of heading back up there to experiment some more. I only had my 100-400 with me and didn’t feel like walking off a cliff to get it all in frame. 8 shots to stitch this beast together, but those berries are detailed! 🤣 #washoe #nv #photography

The juniper roses from the desert slope, one branch reaching to the right dead and forgotten. The other rises up in a roughly 720 degree spiral, ending with a perfect spread of greenery loaded with juniper berries.

Rock Wren in the high desert of Washoe County, NV. #BirdPhotography #washoe #Nevada #birding #photography

The wren has a lightly brown speckled white belly shaped like an egg, on the left arcing into a brown and tan striped tail, on the right arcing into it’s slender beak. A white eyebrow accentuates the dark eye, while both fore and background is nothing but a blur.

and enlisting local law enforcement to keep prayerful protests away. Meanwhile, the bulldozers keep running roughshod over sacred grounds where the bones of #Paiute, #Shoshone, and #Washoe ancestors lie.

It's that part — the failure to acknowledge the terrible things that happened at #PeeheeMu'Huh more than a century and a half ago and properly account for them in the mine's review process — which rests at the heart of the #lawsuit brought by three #NevadaTribes.
