Oak Flat is a site sacred to Apache & other Native Peoples, located an hour east of Phoenix Arizona. This holy place of worship and connection is currently under threat of decimation as international mining company, Resolution Copper seeks access to the copper deposits located below Oak Flat deep within the womb of the Earth, through “block cave mining” 7,000 feet deep, which would leave a sink hole where Oak Flat now lives, breathes, holds space, & witnesses.

Apache-Stronghold is a 501(3) nonprofit community dedicated to defending holy sites and protecting the sacred. They have been working tirelessly to defend Oak Flat.

And we have decided as we invite the Spring’s return with 108 Sun Salutations, our prayer, we rise in solidarity with Apache-Stronghold.

Tonight’s event is intended to spread awareness and inspire prayer & action. Those feeling called to join may tune in on Twitch or in-person. See our website for links.

Donations may be made through SFTP via our website or PayPal at support@shamanismforthepeople.com
Or to Apache-Stronghold directly. See apache-stronghold.com for the link.

Thank you to Apache-Stronghold for the use of this beautiful photo of Oak Flat.

And big love to our friends for alerting us to this threat to sacred land.

Keep spreading awareness, community. May we place Oak Flat on the altar as we pray.
