Peace Camp

Peace Camp  Share By SAMIR S. PATEL Tuesday, October 28, 2014 (Courtesy Colleen Beck, Desert Research Institute, and National Nuclear Security Administration/Nevada Site Office, U.S. Department of Energy) Geoglyph, Peace Camp The nuclear-testing-related historical remains of the Nevada Test Site don’t end at the site’s borders. Beginning in the 1970s, a coalition of protesters established a permanent outpost on 600 acres of adjacent federal land. People who lived east of the Test Site (“downwinders”), peace activists, devout Christians, and Western Shoshone Indians (who claim the land under an 1863 treaty) made up a significant portion of the protest community. In the 1980s, it became officially known as Peace Camp. It had no water and only Joshua trees for shade, yet it drew together members of 200 different organizations. One event there hosted 8,000 people. Colleen Beck of the Desert Research Institute (DRI) noticed the still-active protesters during her early years at the Test Site. “I have to admit there was a lot of curiosity about what these people do over there in the camp,” she says. She didn’t act on that curiosity until she saw a backhoe digging on Peace Camp land. “I began phoning and found out that they were looking at turning the area into a gravel pit. I realized there was a good chance it was going to be destroyed,” and with it, a significant part of the Test Site’s history. Beck secured a grant to document Peace Camp in 2002. While some protesters were suspicious of the early DRI efforts there, the Western Shoshone were supportive. Beck and her colleagues have documented many features associated with the protest community, such as paths, campsites, sweat lodges, hearths, and stone cairns used as trail markers. Residents had covered a highway underpass in graffiti, and used stones to create “geoglyphs,” or large designs expressing political and spiritual beliefs. One depicts an eight-petaled flower with white rocks forming a triangle in the center. Down a trail from there, some rocks spell out “TTW,” a reference to Terry Tempest Williams, a downwinder from Utah who chronicled her family’s cancer history. The side of a hillock sports an enormous peace sign. With Beck’s documentation, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which owns the site, and the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office have determined that Peace Camp is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Peace Camp Nevada

(Author not cited. If you know let em know and I will correct this!)

The Peace Camp Nevada was formed, so that the Small Group of Folks, who lived across from the
Nevada Test Site & Formed a group of dedicated Activists.(Could communicate about the Actions in Which we empowered & help hundreds of Folks, commit acts of Civil Nonviolent Disobedience. It was formed from the Actions of

Art Casey of the Nevada Desert Experience.

It was formed during the period of time, in which American Peace Test was doing Civil Disobedience.

It was a separate entity, completed.

American Peace Test often used our daily vigils & Civil Disobedience, for their fundraising. But there was no connection, between the two groups. We all were friends, but did not received any funds they raised, using our name.

The actions of peace camp reached the people of the Russians. Through the Action of a Russia Activist. Who was often on Russian TV, as a Respectively National Poet & Artist. One day he announced the actions of a small dedicated group of about 20 people, who were daily committing civil disobedience at the

Nevada Test Site. He raised the country's moral belief, that nuclear disarmament was an available option.

The Russia people formed a group of 40,000+ people, who incorporated the name of Nevada into their name. Because of the actions of dedicated actions of the Ongoing Nevada Peace Group ( This was the true name, of the Nevada Peace Camp)

40,000 Russian People, committed a massive act of civil disobedience, which shocked the Russian authority. Who responded by closing one of the eight nuclear test sites, which they had established? More information of Art Casey & his actions, which lead to the formation of the Nevada Peace Camp, at his blog.

These are the memories of a 67-year original member (who has PTSD) all errors in the above statement, are my fault.

Other original members of the original Ongoing Nevada Peace Camp are encouraged to provide
corrected details.

Corbin Harney the Western Shoshone Spirituality Leader ( RIP 2007) who is often cited as one of the founding members, actual was brought to the Nevada Peace Camp by Bill Rosse, the Western Shoshone Environmental Director, after the passing of his wife. The Ongoing Peace Camp was established prior to his arrival.
