“Remembering and Honoring Ancestor Carrie Dann”
Part 1: On January 2nd, 2021, Indigenous activist, elder, grandmother, Mother Earth protector, Western Shoshone Nation defender and treaty protector moved on to the spirit world. On today’s program, we rebroadcast several segments with Carrie Dann. Carrie Dann (Western Shoshone Nation), was co-founder of the Western Defense Shoshone Project (WSDP) in 1991 and a tireless international Indigenous activist, who stood up to the United States government and Bureau of Land Management state-terrorism actions against her and Mary Dann in the 1990s. Carries Dann also opposed the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository in the heart of the Western Shoshone nation and within the treaty territories of the Treaty of Newe Segobia (Ruby Valley) of 1863. Also, throughout her time, she was instrumental in the Barrack Gold Mining Corporations efforts to build one of the largest open gold-pits on Mother Earth and in the Western Shoshone nation lands that threatened the sacred site of Mt. Tenabo. American Indian Airwaves interviews from 2004, 2006, and 2008 demonstrate the veracity, tenaciousness, and the relentless sacrifices of ancestor Carrie Dann.
