Running Now on the Sacred Road: Protecting Oak Flat, February 20 -- 23, 2025

 


On Thursday evening, runners were on their way to the Sports Complex as they make their way to Globe/Miami, on the Sacred Road to Oak Flat

By Apache Stronghold, Censored News

For over a decade, the Apache Stronghold has welcomed people of all spirituality and faith traditions to come pray at Chi'chil Biłdagoteel. To witness the power of Oak Flat is to be on a path of healing and hope for those yet to be born. To stop corporate control of the land is to protect the sacred lifeways. And to be part of a prayerful movement that welcomes people is to resist the isolation that forces of oppression depend on.

Please bring your family and friends to join the 11th Annual Oak Flat March and Run, February 20-22, 2025. Many people have returned year after year to welcome the people who find themselves on the walk for the first time. Supporting the Apache and Indigenous leaders of the fight to protect Oak Flat is an opportunity for everyone to be a part of mending the broken circle.

Be in touch if you have questions about participating and spread the invitation flyer below to your communities.

"This evening hundreds of Leonard Peltier's community showed up to celebrate his Homecoming and to share a meal together. Many relatives, family members, elders and children from the Turtle Mountain Reservation spoke for him and shared stories of their own decades long efforts. Just a grateful and proud witness to a beautiful moment in our shared history." -- Inila Wakan Janis, Feb. 18, 2025
