Tribes in Nevada Honor Victims of US Cavalry Massacre

The People of Red Mountain commemorated the massacre at Peehee Mu’huh in northern Nevada, where US Cavalry killed elders, women, and children in 1865. Descendants of the Fort McDermitt Paiute, Shoshone, and Bannock Tribes gathered to honor their ancestors with songs and offerings. Despite a new lithium mine under construction, the tribe remains dedicated to preserving their culture and land. The event highlighted the ongoing impact of violent colonialism on Native Americans and the importance of remembering their history.
