U.S. Supreme Court declines an Oak Flat hearing a second time
Oct. 16
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a bid by Apache Stronghold to overturn a land exchange for the second time. The land exchange would allow a copper mine at Oak Flat, a land that is held sacred by Indigenous people.
Apache Stronghold, which is a grassroots group, is trying to stop the deal between the U.S. Forest Service and a British-Australian mining firm, Resolution Copper, at Oak Flat. The deal has been the topic of a drawn out legal battle.
Arizona Republic Indigenous Affairs Reporter, Debra Krol, joined “Arizona Horizon” to expand on what the next steps are in this battle.
