Omaha Nathan Phillips: Prayer, Lithium, and an Ancient Language Lost, UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

Nathan Phillips, Deer Clan, Omaha, spoke of prayer, traditions and lithium mining at the United Nations on April 19th, and his words brought a welcome calm, in contrast to the fast-paced rhetoric of governments and agencies. "I came to pray for the people and bring knowledge of what's happening on our reservations, of the lithium, the copper mining and the extraction industries, these things that are destroying our people." Phillips said there was a lack of funding to bring youths here. He  came to pray for the people here."
