Lanza’s order 'preclude(s) the United States Forest Service from proceeding with the challenged land exchange until 60 days after the issuance of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which is anticipated to be issued on June 16.'" 'We are grateful that Judge Lanza has provided us an opportunity to be heard,' said San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler. 'The two-month window provides the Tribe an opportunity to file an amended lawsuit challenging the legality of the pending environmental report and request an injunction to stop the land exchange until the merits of our case are settled.'"The Oak Flat land transfer was mandated by a last-minute amendment to the FY2015 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct</a> that was added by the late Arizona Senator <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JohnMcCain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnMcCain</a> and former Arizona Senator <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JeffFlake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeffFlake</a>. The land transfer provision, which failed to pass Congress in previous years, avoided the normal course of business and was not debated before it was added to the mustsign [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDAA</a>] defense spending bill that was signed into law by President Barack <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Obama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obama</a>." 'The bill that authorized the land exchange is not in the best interest of the American people, Arizona or the San Carlos Apache Tribe,' Chairman Rambler stated. 'We have filed this lawsuit because of our concerns of the mine’s massive use of groundwater, which will be devastating for both Arizona and eventually the Tribe. We are also deeply concerned about the environmental destruction and the obliteration of Oak Flat will have on Apache culture and religion.'"Resolution plans to collapse Oak Flat, known as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel in Apache, into a two-mile wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater. Chi’chil Biłdagoteel is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a Traditional Cultural Place."Resolution Copper is owned by Melbourne-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BHP</a> (45%) and London-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> (55%), the two largest mining companies in the world. The Chinese state-owned Aluminum Corporation of China, which spearheads China’s acquisition of strategic minerals worldwide, is Rio Tinto’s single largest investor with a 14.6% stake. Both BHP and Rio Tinto rely on China for the majority of their revenue." 'We fully expect Resolution’s copper to be exported to China, which poses a national security threat,' Chairman Rambler said. “The United States already exports 30 percent of the copper produced by U.S. mines because of a lack of copper smelting capacity."'The Trump Administration’s Oak Flat appraisal concludes that Resolution’s copper will be exported to southeast Asia,' Chairman Rambler added. 'It’s clearly in the best interest of the United States to withhold publication of the Resolution environmental report at least until there is a change in the ownership of this project to companies that are not reliant on China for more than half their business.'

DoomsdaysCWTrump to approve land swap for Rio Tinto copper mine opposed by Native AmericansBy Ernest Scheyder April 18, 2025- Forest Service to republish environmental report within 60 days - Publication needed to approve land swap for Resolution project - Native groups oppose project on religious grounds - Related case still pending at Supreme Court"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> administration said on Thursday it would approve a land swap needed for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BHP</a> to build one of the world's largest copper mines, despite concerns from Native Americans that it would destroy a site of religious value. The move is likely to escalate tensions between Indigenous groups vocal about the need to preserve historical lands and Western governments eager to boost critical minerals production and offset China's sector dominance."The U.S. Forest Service, which is part of the Agriculture Department, said it will republish within 60 days an environmental report needed for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a> project land swap to occur."Congress and then-President <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BarackObama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BarackObama</a> approved the mine in 2014 after it was added at the last minute to a must-pass military funding bill [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDAA</a>] with the condition that an environmental report be published."The underground mine - which President Donald Trump approved in his first term before successor Joe Biden reversed him - would supply more than a quarter of U.S. appetite for copper and be a key part of Trump's plan to boost U.S. mining."Copper is used in construction, transportation, electronics and many other industries. The United States imports roughly half of its copper needs each year."Yet the mine's construction would cause a crater that would swallow the Oak Flat site where Arizona's San Carlos Apache worship. That has fueled strong opposition from all but one of the state's 22 Native American tribes, as well as the National Congress of American Indians."Apache Stronghold, a nonprofit group comprised of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and conservationists, asked the U.S. Supreme Court last September to block the land swap. The court has not yet decided whether to take that case. Were the court to do so, however, the Forest Service said on Thursday it 'may reevaluate how to proceed' regarding the land swap." 'The U.S. government is rushing to give away our spiritual home before the courts can even rule, just like it's rushed to erase Native people for generations,' said <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WendslerNosie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WendslerNosie</a>, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ApacheStronghold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ApacheStronghold</a> leader."Read more: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/trump-approve-land-swap-rio-tinto-copper-mine-opposed-by-native-americans-2025-04-18/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/trump-approve-land-swap-rio-tinto-copper-mine-opposed-by-native-americans-2025-04-18/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apaches</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WesternApaches</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacredSite</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChichilBi%C5%82dagoteel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChichilBiłdagoteel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReaderSupportedNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendTheSacred</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CopperMine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WesternApache</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacredSites</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoMiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycleCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TontoNationalForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TontoNationalForest</a>

"The Apaches and their allies hosted a day of prayer outside the Court as they asked the Justices to save the spiritual lifeblood of their people. Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day Superior, Arizona, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been protected from mining and other harmful practices for decades. These protections were targeted in December 2014 when a last-minute provision was inserted into a must- pass defense bill authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to the Resolution Copper company. Resolution Copper is a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the sacred site into a two-mile-wide and 1,100-foot-deep crater. The majority owner of Resolution Copper, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a>, sparked international outrage when it deliberately destroyed 46,000-year-old <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> rock shelters at one of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>’s most significant cultural sites. “'Oak Flat is our Mt. Sinai—the most sacred place where generations of Apache have come to connect with our Creator, our faith, and our land,' said Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold. 'We pray the Justices will protect Oak Flat and ensure that our place of worship is not treated differently simply because it lacks four walls and a steeple.” Apache Stronghold—a coalition of Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies—filed this lawsuit in January 2021 seeking to halt the proposed mine at Oak Flat. The mine is opposed by 21 of 22 federally recognized tribal nations in Arizona and by the National Congress of American Indians. Meanwhile, national polling indicates that 74% of Americans support protecting Oak Flat. The Ninth Circuit ruled earlier this year that the land transfer is not subject to federal laws protecting religious freedom. But five judges dissented, writing that the court 'tragically err[ed]' by refusing to protect Oak Flat. After unsuccessfully asking all 29 judges on the Ninth Circuit to rehear the case, Apache Stronghold has filed their appeal to the Supreme Court."'Blasting the birthplace of Apache religion into oblivion would be an egregious violation of our nation’s promise of religious freedom for people of all faiths,' said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. 'The Court should uphold its strong record of defending <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReligiousFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousFreedom</a> by ensuring that the Apaches can continue worshiping at Oak Flat as they have for centuries.' "In addition to Becket, Apache Stronghold is represented by Erin Murphy of Clement & Murphy PLLC, Professor Stephanie Barclay of Georgetown Law School, and attorneys Michael V. Nixon and Clifford Levenson.

This is a place that has special significance— a place where we pray, collect water and medicinal plants for ceremonies, gather acorns and other foods, and honor those that are buried here. "We received the response from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Our request to be heard by the full 29-judge panel was denied, none of the judges requesting a vote for rehearing. The Court amended its decision to discuss a previous Supreme Court decision that hadn’t been considered, and the 9th Circuit’s decision on the case remained closely divided, 6 to 5, with five dissenting judges and over 240 pages of opinions. We have now completed the 9th Circuit appeal, and the next step is petitioning to be heard by the Supreme Court. I want to thank everyone for your endless support and prayers.

For over 500 hundred years, we <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> of America, have suffered equally to the rest of the world.

"The struggle for freedom continues as Dr. Nosie reflected, 'It’s time to use all our combined voices for civil and human rights to fight for Mother Earth, the greatest gift God has given us.' So far on this journey we are happy to see that the churches are bringing in the importance of protecting Mother Earth. We have to make the air, the water, the earth a priority because we will only be able to stop the shattering of human existence by protecting God’s greatest gift, our Mother Earth."Read more: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/09/apache-stronghold-welcomed-at-martin.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/09/apache-stronghold-welcomed-at-martin.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EarthIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarthIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanCarlosApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanCarlosApache</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendTheSacred</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousActivism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacredSites</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycleCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheSacred</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericanNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoMiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChichilBi%C5%82dagoteel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChichilBiłdagoteel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RespectTheTreaties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RespectTheTreaties</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a>

We have traveled, held ceremonies and gathered prayers from Tribes, Communities, Churches, and people in support of saving Oak Flat and religious freedom and protections for all. We began in the Northwest, West Coast, South, Mid- west to the East to gather in Washington DC at the Supreme Court on September 11."We are appealing a lower court ruling that would have allowed the total destruction of Oak Flat by allowing the land to be transferred to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a>, a foreign owned company, owned by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BHP</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a>. We will appeal Apache Stronghold v. United States to the U.S. Supreme Court on September 11. The case involves the federal government’s planned destruction of Oak Flat—known in Apache as Chi'chil Biłdagoteel —a sacred site where Western Apaches and other Native peoples have worshipped since time immemorial. Oak Flat is the birthplace of our religion and the site of sacred ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. "The United States is now planning to transfer ownership of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, a foreign- owned mining company that plans to destroy it. Resolution’s mine will swallow Oak Flat in a two-mile- wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater, ending Apache religious practices forever."Our lawsuit challenges the destruction of Oak Flat as a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RFRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RFRA</a>), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheUSConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheUSConstitution</a>, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1852Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1852Treaty</a> with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WesternApaches</a>. In March, the sharply divided Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 6-5 vote, ruled that the obliteration of Oak Flat does not amount to a 'substantial burden' on our religious exercise and that the Constitution and federal civil rights laws do not apply to the government’s disposition of 'its own land.'"In September, we will ask the Supreme Court to correct this ruling and hold that federal law protects Oak Flat. The stakes could not be any higher. If the Ninth Circuit’s ruling is allowed to stand, the United States will be allowed to destroy Oak Flat and any other sacred site with impunity. If the Supreme Court rules in our favor, it will ensure that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> receive the same protection for our religious freedom that all other religious groups across the country already enjoy. A decision in the case is expected in 2025. "Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. explained, 'what saddens me, what I have witnessed going through <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reservations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reservations</a>, towns, sitting with and discussing with many people across this country, is seeing that when it comes to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a>, it’s not being protected. When we talked about water or land, it not only affects Oak Flats but many places have been affected by Acts of Congress, the cities are no different. The United States does not protect the environment by bypassing the laws that they enacted, I have seen devastation across this country, the government pursuing unproven endeavors overlooking it’s peoples essential liberties. We need to come together on this court case, our spirituality and the survival of the earth are at stake, the suffering of the people is what we are bringing to the Supreme court.

We were welcomed with open arms to the sacred site of the Lisjan people. Corrina Gould, the leader of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation spoke about the history of the site. "'It was heartbreaking to learn their <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacredSite</a> was one of the oldest village and ancestral burial sites that was taken over for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateGreed</a>. After many years the people took their sacred land back through a legal battle and purchasing. "'Throughout this journey, we are reminded of the system that only cares for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonists</a>’ profits first. Their land was taken forcefully and then made them, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> people buy the land that was once their home. This is what the fight is about.“'As <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a>, we know through our history and culture that there is a spiritual connection to the land but this is what the United States wants us to prove in court. However, this case scares the U.S. because they’ll have to answer the question about spirituality. This case makes the United States confront the wrongdoing of the Indigenous people and all people.'"So, we ask you to please keep us in your prayers as we continue our prayer journey to the <a
