Show Notes
Oak Flat, a federal forest land in Arizona, has been transferred to Resolution Copper for mining, despite its religious significance to the San Carlos Apache Tribe. The deal, approved by the U.S. Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, exchanges over 5,400 acres for conservation areas and new habitats. Supporters hail it as a boost for the local economy, while opponents, including Democratic representatives and the tribe, mourn the loss of a sacred site and vow to fight. Resolution Copper plans to begin mining soon, balancing economic gains with cultural impacts.
