This episode features Ian Zabarte, Principal Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians, and Secretary of the Native Community Action Council, based in Las Vegas, NV.
Ian discusses the Treaty of Ruby Valley of 1863 between the Western Shoshone and the United States of America, its violation by nuclear weapons testing in Nevada since 1951, and the further threat of high-level radioactive waste dumping at Yucca Mountain. All the environmental justice violations must stop!
