...UUJAZ Joins the Poor People's Campaign in Calling Faith Leaders to Help Protect Oak Flat
"Apache Oak Flat is where the Ga’an spirits, or angels, reside. It is a corridor or direct connection to pray to Ussen (Creator of Mother Earth). It is also where generations of Apache girls have had their coming of age ceremonies and where they gather acorns for medicinal and ceremonial purposes. Chi’chil Bildagoteel is a place of beauty and abundance where the Apache honor and offer prayers to the creator and to their ancestors. It is a place deeply tied to who they are as a people. ... We, as moral and religious leaders, stand with the Apache Stronghold in calling on the president and the U.S. government to immediately stop the land transfer to Resolution Copper. We demand that Oak Flat be returned to Apache stewardship and recognized and protected as a sacred place of worship." Read and sign the letter to President Biden here. |
