Lanza’s order 'preclude(s) the United States Forest Service from proceeding with the challenged land exchange until 60 days after the issuance of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which is anticipated to be issued on June 16.'</p><p>" 'We are grateful that Judge Lanza has provided us an opportunity to be heard,' said San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler. 'The two-month window provides the Tribe an opportunity to file an amended lawsuit challenging the legality of the pending environmental report and request an injunction to stop the land exchange until the merits of our case are settled.'</p><p>"The Oak Flat land transfer was mandated by a last-minute amendment to the FY2015 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct</span></a> that was added by the late Arizona Senator <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JohnMcCain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnMcCain</span></a> and former Arizona Senator <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JeffFlake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JeffFlake</span></a>. The land transfer provision, which failed to pass Congress in previous years, avoided the normal course of business and was not debated before it was added to the mustsign [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NDAA</span></a>] defense spending bill that was signed into law by President Barack <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Obama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obama</span></a>.</p><p>" 'The bill that authorized the land exchange is not in the best interest of the American people, Arizona or the San Carlos Apache Tribe,' Chairman Rambler stated. 'We have filed this lawsuit because of our concerns of the mine’s massive use of groundwater, which will be devastating for both Arizona<br>and eventually the Tribe. We are also deeply concerned about the environmental destruction and the obliteration of Oak Flat will have on Apache culture and religion.'</p><p>"Resolution plans to collapse Oak Flat, known as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel in Apache, into a two-mile wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater. Chi’chil Biłdagoteel is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a Traditional Cultural Place.</p><p>"Resolution Copper is owned by Melbourne-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHP</span></a> (45%) and London-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RioTinto</span></a> (55%), the two largest mining companies in the world. The Chinese state-owned Aluminum Corporation of China, which spearheads China’s acquisition of strategic minerals worldwide, is Rio Tinto’s single largest investor with a 14.6% stake. Both BHP and Rio Tinto rely on China for the majority of their revenue.</p><p>" 'We fully expect Resolution’s copper to be exported to China, which poses a national security threat,' Chairman Rambler said. “The United States already exports 30 percent of the copper produced by U.S. mines because of a lack of copper smelting capacity.</p><p>"'The Trump Administration’s Oak Flat appraisal concludes that Resolution’s copper will be exported to southeast Asia,' Chairman Rambler added. 'It’s clearly in the best interest of the United States to withhold publication of the Resolution environmental report at least until there is a change in the ownership of this project to companies that are not reliant on China for more than half their business.'

In Apache Stronghold v. United States, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to stop the federal government from transferring Oak Flat to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResolutionCopper</span></a>, a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> religious practices forever (Watch video linked below to learn more). </p><p>"The Apaches and their allies hosted a day of prayer outside the Court as they asked the Justices to save the spiritual lifeblood of their people.<br>Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day Superior, Arizona, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been protected from mining and other harmful practices for decades. These protections were targeted in December 2014 when a last-minute provision was inserted into a must- pass defense bill authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to the Resolution Copper company. Resolution Copper is a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the sacred site into a two-mile-wide and 1,100-foot-deep crater. The majority owner of Resolution Copper, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RioTinto</span></a>, sparked international outrage when it deliberately destroyed 46,000-year-old <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> rock shelters at one of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a>’s most significant cultural sites. </p><p>“'Oak Flat is our Mt. Sinai—the most sacred place where generations of Apache have come to connect with our Creator, our faith, and our land,' said Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold. 'We pray the Justices will protect Oak Flat and ensure that our place of worship is not treated differently simply because it lacks four walls and a steeple.”<br>Apache Stronghold—a coalition of Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies—filed this lawsuit in January 2021 seeking to halt the proposed mine at Oak Flat. The mine is opposed by 21 of 22 federally recognized tribal nations in Arizona and by the National Congress of American Indians. Meanwhile, national polling indicates that 74% of Americans support protecting Oak Flat. The Ninth Circuit ruled earlier this year that the land transfer is not subject to federal laws protecting religious freedom. But five judges dissented, writing that the court 'tragically err[ed]' by refusing to protect Oak Flat. After unsuccessfully asking all 29 judges on the Ninth Circuit to rehear the case, Apache Stronghold has filed their appeal to the Supreme Court.</p><p>"'Blasting the birthplace of Apache religion into oblivion would be an egregious violation of our nation’s promise of religious freedom for people of all faiths,' said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. 'The Court should uphold its strong record of defending <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReligiousFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousFreedom</span></a> by ensuring that the Apaches can continue worshiping at Oak Flat as they have for centuries.' </p><p>"In addition to Becket, Apache Stronghold is represented by Erin Murphy of Clement &amp; Murphy PLLC, Professor Stephanie Barclay of Georgetown Law School, and attorneys Michael V.
