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.
