Apache Stronghold 'We Are Still Fighting'



Apache Stronghold 'We Are Still Fighting'

Statement from Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr.

Many of you have heard that on Friday, the Ninth Circuit again refused to stop the Government from giving Oak Flat to Resolution Copper for destruction. This is sad news. But we will never stop fighting to protect Oak Flat and each place that is sacred to our people. And we are still fighting—in the courts, in Congress, and, most importantly, spiritually.
