Apache Women Fight to Save Sacred Land from Copper Mine: A Legal Battle Unfolds
The federal government has transferred Arizona forest land, including the sacred Oak Flat, to Resolution Copper for mining. Apache women from Apache Stronghold have filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to block the mine. The land swap was mandated by Congress in 2014 and is supported by the local town of Superior for economic benefits. However, the Apache people and other tribes consider the land deeply spiritual and essential for their ceremonies and gatherings. The mine would destroy these sacred sites forever.
