Apache Stronghold Wendsler Nosie 'Save the Earth from Destruction for Profit'

Statement from Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr., Censored News, April 22, 2026

Today, we continue our struggle to save Oak Flat. Through all our past visits to court, we have learned the reach of capitalism and its influence on the efforts to save the earth from destruction for profit, has reached the worry of our judges, who are the ultimate influencers of fair laws for all people and for the earth itself.

We, thank all those who have supported us to save Oak Flat. This struggle touches you and everyone with issues that go beyond just religion. Resolution Copper and the U.S. government have pushed making money and have influenced all to believe they are working in the best interests of all U.S. citizens. It began with efforts to bypass U.S. laws using the plenary powers of the senate, discounting U.S. treaty obligations, devaluing copper on exchange value and pushing all to believe the destruction of Oak Flat was because of an urgent need of American people. These actions validated that you could write anything on a piece of paper as long as you can keep it still. Today, on Earth Day, we pray the District Court will hear our case to right this wrong.

Thank you to all Apache people, all tribes, all religions, and all faith leaders who support Native American religious rights, all organizations including the National Congress of American Indians, the Intertribal Association of Arizona, the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation, all the supporting labor unions and indigenous groups, etc., those who are on the right side of justice.

We ask all to light a candle in prayer for this court case filed today. On Earth Day, although every second of all our days rely on Mother Earth daily for our existence.

Respectfully,

Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr., Ph.D.
Founder of the Apache Stronghold
Former Chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe
