The San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman appeared before the United Nations on Tuesday, urging the United States to protect sacred Indigenous sites, including Oak Flat, from impending destruction.
“I request the United Nations Permanent Forum call on all States to affirmatively protect Indigenous Peoples’ sacred sites under the mandate of culture, environment, health, and human rights,” said Chairman Terry Rambler.
Native American tribal members fighting plans for an enormous copper mine on land they consider sacred say they are increasingly worried U.S. officials will publish an environmental review paving the way for the project even as they await a federal appeals court ruling in the case. In response, the U.S. Justice Department says it expects to issue an environmental report that would give the land to Resolution later this summer.
