This is a place that has special significance— a place where we pray, collect water and medicinal plants for ceremonies, gather acorns and other foods, and honor those that are buried here. "We received the response from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Our request to be heard by the full 29-judge panel was denied, none of the judges requesting a vote for rehearing. The Court amended its decision to discuss a previous Supreme Court decision that hadn’t been considered, and the 9th Circuit’s decision on the case remained closely divided, 6 to 5, with five dissenting judges and over 240 pages of opinions. We have now completed the 9th Circuit appeal, and the next step is petitioning to be heard by the Supreme Court. I want to thank everyone for your endless support and prayers.

For over 500 hundred years, we <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> of America, have suffered equally to the rest of the world.

We have traveled, held ceremonies and gathered prayers from Tribes, Communities, Churches, and people in support of saving Oak Flat and religious freedom and protections for all. We began in the Northwest, West Coast, South, Mid- west to the East to gather in Washington DC at the Supreme Court on September 11."We are appealing a lower court ruling that would have allowed the total destruction of Oak Flat by allowing the land to be transferred to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a>, a foreign owned company, owned by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BHP</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a>. We will appeal Apache Stronghold v. United States to the U.S. Supreme Court on September 11. The case involves the federal government’s planned destruction of Oak Flat—known in Apache as Chi'chil Biłdagoteel —a sacred site where Western Apaches and other Native peoples have worshipped since time immemorial. Oak Flat is the birthplace of our religion and the site of sacred ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. "The United States is now planning to transfer ownership of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, a foreign- owned mining company that plans to destroy it. Resolution’s mine will swallow Oak Flat in a two-mile- wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater, ending Apache religious practices forever."Our lawsuit challenges the destruction of Oak Flat as a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RFRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RFRA</a>), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheUSConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheUSConstitution</a>, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1852Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1852Treaty</a> with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WesternApaches</a>. In March, the sharply divided Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 6-5 vote, ruled that the obliteration of Oak Flat does not amount to a 'substantial burden' on our religious exercise and that the Constitution and federal civil rights laws do not apply to the government’s disposition of 'its own land.'"In September, we will ask the Supreme Court to correct this ruling and hold that federal law protects Oak Flat. The stakes could not be any higher. If the Ninth Circuit’s ruling is allowed to stand, the United States will be allowed to destroy Oak Flat and any other sacred site with impunity. If the Supreme Court rules in our favor, it will ensure that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> receive the same protection for our religious freedom that all other religious groups across the country already enjoy. A decision in the case is expected in 2025. "Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. explained, 'what saddens me, what I have witnessed going through <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reservations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reservations</a>, towns, sitting with and discussing with many people across this country, is seeing that when it comes to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#environment</a>, it’s not being protected. When we talked about water or land, it not only affects Oak Flats but many places have been affected by Acts of Congress, the cities are no different. The United States does not protect the environment by bypassing the laws that they enacted, I have seen devastation across this country, the government pursuing unproven endeavors overlooking it’s peoples essential liberties.

We were welcomed with open arms to the sacred site of the Lisjan people. Corrina Gould, the leader of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation spoke about the history of the site. "'It was heartbreaking to learn their <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SacredSite</a> was one of the oldest village and ancestral burial sites that was taken over for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateGreed</a>. After many years the people took their sacred land back through a legal battle and purchasing. "'Throughout this journey, we are reminded of the system that only cares for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colonists</a>’ profits first. Their land was taken forcefully and then made them, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> people buy the land that was once their home. This is what the fight is about.“'As <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a>, we know through our history and culture that there is a spiritual connection to the land but this is what the United States wants us to prove in court. However, this case scares the U.S. because they’ll have to answer the question about spirituality. This case makes the United States confront the wrongdoing of the Indigenous people and all people.'"So, we ask you to please keep us in your prayers as we continue our prayer journey to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SupremeCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SupremeCourt</a> to stop the shattering of the human existence and to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MotherEarth</a>."Read more: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/08/lisjan-welcome-apache-stronghold-on.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/08/lisjan-welcome-apache-stronghold-on.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BHP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CopperMine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CopperMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NDAA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChichilBildagoteel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChichilBildagoteel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanCarlosApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SanCarlosApache</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProtectOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DefendTheSacred</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousActivism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SacredSite</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RecycleCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProtectTheSacred</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ecocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeAmericanNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Greenwashing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoMiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReaderSupportedNews</a>
