U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND):Tell Secretary of Agriculture VILSACK to REJECT this Trump-era MINING OPERATION ON NATIVE LAND !

 

 

 

Friend,    If the Biden administration follows through with the land transfer of sacred, Indigenous land to a notoriously disastrous UK-Australian mining company, it will be “a serious breach of trust not only with the San Carlos Apache Tribe but with all Native American communities across the country,” according to San Carlos Apache Tribal Chairman Terry Rambler. That’s why we’re joining with allies across the country and demanding Sec. of Agriculture Tom Vilsack withhold final approval of this project and protect Oak Flat for generations to come. TAKE ACTION Since time eternal, The San Carlos Apache have held ceremonies at Oak Flat -- cleansing themselves in the perennial springs, collecting sacred foods, praying, and connecting with the Creator. These ceremonies are still being held today by the Tribe and the area should be protected. The transfer of this Native land to Rio Tinto Resolution Copper Mining would destroy the entire area, deplete and poison already limited water supplies, and forever destroy the culture and religion of the San Carlos Apache people -- all for corporate greed to export copper to other countries. It would also go directly against promises to honor treaty obligations through Nation-to-Nation relationships and to meaningfully consultation with Tribes. Add your name to demand Sec. of Agriculture Tom Vilsack withhold final approval of this devastating copper mining operation on Native land now. Thank you,    Tremayne Nez Policy Director. DONATE TODAY
