Apache Stronghold visited Peehee Mu’huh (Thacker Pass), the second stop on the Prayer Journey to the Supreme Court to Stop the Shattering of Human Existence and Protect Mother Earth.

We visited with the People of Red Mountain, who are fighting a lithium mine that is destroying their sacred site. When we arrived at the entrance to Peehee Mu’huh, we found a chain link wall with a locked gate, blocking everyone except those authorized by the mine.

By Tó Nizhóní Ání, Censored News, August 7, 2024

On Sunday, Tó Nizhóní Ání traveled to Red Butte to stand in solidarity with the Havasupai People who oppose uranium mining and transport. For those unaware, the Pinyon Plain Mine has begun transporting uranium ore across the Navajo Nation to the White Mesa Mill in Utah. With the recent halt in transportation, we urge our Diné people to be vigilant about this issue as it impacts our way of life, land, and people in the Navajo Nation. Learn more by following HaulNo and visiting their website to learn more about this issue:

Bring power back to our Diné communities impacted by coal. ✊🏽 #TóBeeIiná #WaterIsLife
