The Ninth Circuit ruled last month 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."Including the 8 briefs filed yesterday, there have now been a total of 23 friend-of-the-court briefs filed in support of Apache Stronghold in this case, representing the voices of hundreds of federally recognized tribes, scores of religious organizations of diverse faiths, and leading scholars of Indian law and the Constitution. A full listing of briefs is available here. Highlights from yesterday’s filings in Apache Stronghold v. United States include:· Tribal Nations and Tribal Organizations arguing that this case will set vital precedent for tribal nations across the continent.· The Mennonite Church USA and 20 Mennonite conferences, churches and ministries explaining how the government can manage federal lands while still providing full protection to Native American religious practices;· Religious liberty law scholars arguing that the plain language of federal civil rights law requires protection of Oak Flat;· A diverse array of 38 religious and indigenous groups—including the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon, the Southwestern Conference of the United Church of Christ, and the National Council of Jewish Women demonstrating broad support for Native American religious exercise from across the country;· The Sikh Coalition, the Christian Legal Society and the Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team of the Religious Freedom Institute noting that the legal standard for judging Native religious liberty claims should be consistent with that for other land-use and prisoner claims;· Protect the First asking the court of appeals to reconsider its narrow, inflexible approach toward Native American sacred site cases.· The Native American Law Students Association pointing out the unique effect this case will have on Native American religious believers under the current interpretation of the law.· The Multi-Indigenous Community Action Group, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, and a Tribal Elder explaining that the court’s decision creates an unfair double standard for Native American religious exercise."'It is heartening to see a broad coalition of tribes, religious groups, and scholars stand up in defense of Oak Flat,' said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. 'Our nation has a history of destroying Native sacred sites without consequence, and it’s long past time for that dark tradition to end.'"Read more: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/04/diverse-coalition-urges-29-judge.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/04/diverse-coalition-urges-29-judge.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalRacism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CopperMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousLands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousLands</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SacredSpaces</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReligiousFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReligiousFreedom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousRights</a>

In Apache Stronghold v. United States, a rare 'en banc' panel of eleven judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal government can transfer the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SacredSite</a> Oak Flat to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a>, a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever. (Watch the short video linked below to learn more)."The decision was by a bare majority, with five judges vigorously disagreeing and writing that the majority 'tragically err[ed]' in allowing the government to 'obliterate[e] Oak Flat' and prevent the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WesternApaches</a> from ever again' engaging in their religious exercise. With the help of Becket, Apache Stronghold has vowed to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court."Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been protected from mining and other harmful practices for decades. These protections were eliminated in 2014, when a last-minute provision was inserted into a must-pass <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefenseBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DefenseBill</a> authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, 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, Rio Tinto, recently 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">#indigenous</a> rock shelters at one of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Australia</a>’s most significant cultural sites."'Oak Flat is like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MountSinai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MountSinai</a> to us—our most sacred site where we connect with our Creator, our faith, our families, and our land,” said Dr. Wendsler Nosie of Apache Stronghold. “Today’s ruling targets the spiritual lifeblood of my people, but it will not stop our struggle to save Oak Flat. We vow to appeal to the Supreme Court.'Source: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/03/federal-court-greenlights-destruction.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/03/federal-court-greenlights-destruction.html</a>Link to video: <a href="https://youtu.be/Zh68xOn0B_8?si=428-0_7qDRrLgQm7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Zh68xOn0B_8?si=428-0_7qDRrLgQm7</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveOakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveOakFlat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalRacism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CopperMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousLands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousLands</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SacredSpaces</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReligiousFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReligiousFreedom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousRights</a>
