Lithium mine being built on site where Native Americans say ancestors were massacred.

Lithium mine being built on site where Native Americans say ancestors were massacred.

Nevada has witnessed many battles, but now it has become the scene of a different kind of struggle - this time between the past and the future.

US President Joe Biden wants the US to be the world leader in electric cars, which requires lithium.

But a group of Native American Indians have accused one company of moving ahead to develop a major lithium mine on the site where some of their relatives were massacred in 1865.

The mining company disputes that claim and its position has been backed by a US judge.

James Matthews listened as tribe members explained why they are so angry about the project.
