Apache tribe takes fight with feds over sacred land to Supreme Court
Fox News
An Apache tribe in Arizona is taking a fight with the federal government and copper producers over sacred land to the Supreme Court.
Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
According to the petition filed at the high court, the government "has long protected Apache rituals there."
"But because copper was discovered beneath Oak Flat, the government decided to transfer the site to Respondent Resolution Copper for a mine that will undisputedly destroy Oak Flat — swallowing it in a massive crater and ending sacred Apache rituals forever."
