The Fight for Our Existence

This 4th Episode I had special guest Cheyenne Kippenberger from the Seminole Tribe of Florida come on the podcast and talk about Land Acknowledgement. Cheyenne is an advocate on land acknowledgement and advocate of Healing & Mental Wellness. Cheyenne from Florida and my people from Arizona all have the same issues when dealing with protecting our mother earth. We had a great conversation and touched on a great deal of issues with Native American history and being as land protectors. Cheyenne is doing great work for her community and our people. Keep up the great work Cheyenne!

On Monday July 18th, 2022 the Apache Stronghold had meeting in Tucson, Arizona to discuss our next move. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision ruled that the request for a preliminary injunction to halt the land exchange of Oak Flat be denied. Please listen and take action to Save Oak Flat. Speakers at this meeting were Naelyn Pike, Vanessa Nosie, and Wendsler Nosie.

Special Edition: 31st Annual Mount Graham Sacred Run with special guest, my cousin Vanessa Nosie. The sacred run will start Thursday July 21 @ Old San Carlos Monument at 4pm. This sacred run started in 1991 and it was for trying to stop UofA from placing a telescope on top of our sacred mountain. UofA had backing from the Vatican and we have been fighting for this mountain ever since. Please come out and join if you can. Runners are needed!! The top of Mt. Graham is beautiful.

First episode for The Fight for Our Existence. This episode is a quick rundown on what's happening with Oak Flat. Oak Flat is about to be mined for copper and creating a 2 mile radius sink hole. This site is sacred to my people the Apaches. This place is also where my daughter had her Coming of Age ceremony.
