In this episode of Fight 4 Our Existence, we have a powerful conversation with my niece Naelyn Pike, a Chiricahua Apache youth leader and lifelong defender of Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, also known as Oak Flat.

Naelyn shares the spiritual and cultural significance of this sacred site, and why she continues to stand with Apache Stronghold in resistance to Resolution Copper — a foreign mining company attempting to desecrate Apache holy land in Arizona.

We talk about what it means to carry tradition, fight for the right to pray, and protect sacred land for the generations yet to come. This is more than a political fight — it’s a spiritual one.
