That claim is both factually wrong and morally repugnant. And recent polling shows that the vast majority of Americans agree with what the constitution requires: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Native</span></a> sacred sites deserve the same protection as all other houses of worship.</p><p>"Since before European contact, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternApache</span></a> and other Native tribes have lived and honored their <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Creator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Creator</span></a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OakFlat</span></a>, or 'Chi’chil Bildagoteel.' The site is the birthplace of Western Apache religion and the site of ancient religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Because of its religious and cultural significance, Oak Flat is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been protected from mining and other destructive practices for decades.</p><p>"That changed in 2014, when several members of Congress, supported by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corporate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lobbyists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lobbyists</span></a>, slipped an amendment into a must-pass defense bill authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to a foreign-owned mining giant. That company, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResolutionCopper</span></a>, announced plans to obliterate the sacred ground by swallowing it in a mining crater nearly two miles wide and 1,100-feet deep, ending Apache religious practices forever. That was no surprise given the company’s sordid history dealing with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoples</span></a>. The majority owner of Resolution Copper is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RioTinto</span></a> (the world’s second largest mining company), which sparked international outrage in 2020 when it destroyed a 46,000-year-old rock shelter with some of the most significant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Aboriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aboriginal</span></a> artifacts in all of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a>.</p><p>"The Apache and their allies, represented by my firm, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BecketFundForReligiousLiberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BecketFundForReligiousLiberty</span></a>, have been fighting in court to ensure that such an atrocity won’t repeat itself at Oak Flat. After initial court rulings against the Apache, a full panel of 11 judges at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reheard their appeal last spring. A decision on whether the government can execute the land transfer is expected any day.</p><p>"Resolution Copper and its backers want the public to believe that building the mine is essential for developing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewable</span></a> energy. Extracting the copper beneath Oak Flat, they say, will help to build batteries necessary for powering <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElectricVehicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricVehicles</span></a> and thus fight <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>. In other words, we have to destroy Oak Flat in order to save the planet.</p><p>"These claims, however, are false — and they are specifically designed to obscure the physical and cultural destruction the project would wreak on the land.</p><p>"The mine will destroy the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a>, not save it. It is undisputed that the mine will swallow the ecologically diverse landscape of Oak Flat in a massive crater, decimating the local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystem</span></a>. It will also leave behind approximately 1.37 billion tons of '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tailings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tailings</span></a>,' or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiningWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiningWaste</span></a>, which, according to the government’s own environmental assessment, will pollute the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/groundwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>groundwater</span></a> and scar the landscape permanently. And the mine will consume vast quantities of water at the time it is most needed by drought-stricken towns and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmers</span></a>.</p><p>"Supporters of the mine are also at odds with the majority of Americans. According to this year’s Religious Freedom Index, an annual survey conducted by Becket, 74% of Americans believe that Native sacred sites on federal land should be protected from mining projects, even when the projects are purportedly pro-jobs and pro-environment.</p><p>"That conclusion is both sensible and humane. America can transition to renewable energy without blasting the cradle of Western Apache religion into oblivion. And it should. For too long, our nation has made excuses for taking advantage of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a> and their land. Indeed, our nation drove the Western Apache off Oak Flat and surrounding lands in the 1800s precisely to make way for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiningInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiningInterests</span></a>. It shouldn’t repeat that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/injustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>injustice</span></a> again.</p><p>"It is past time to protect Indigenous sacred sites from further destruction. Basic fairness and our constitutional commitment to religious freedom require no less. And, happily, most Americans agree."</p><p><a href="https://news.yahoo.com/opinion-why-birthplace-western-apache-200000087.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.yahoo.com/opinion-why-bir</span><span class="invisible">thplace-western-apache-200000087.html</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveOakFlat</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousActivism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CopperMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a></p>
