Apache Tribe Fights Land Swap for Copper Mine: A Supreme Court Showdown
The San Carlos Apache Tribe is challenging the federal governments transfer of Arizona forest land to Resolution Copper, a joint venture of two international mining firms. The tribe seeks to block the deal, which aims to tap into one of North Americas largest copper deposits, by filing an emergency plea with the U.S. Supreme Court. The land swap, included in a 2014 defense bill, has been met with resistance due to its impact on sacred sites used for religious ceremonies and gathering medicinal plants. Resolution Copper argues the mine will boost Arizonas economy and create jobs, but the tribe and activists remain determined to preserve their sacred land.
