Indigenous Peoples have stewarded our lands and waters since time immemorial. This International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, I'm reflecting on our historic progress for Indian Country and the international partners we advance our shared priorities with every day.

“Elections don’t solve our problems: they create the conditions. The election results don’t solve our problems but they create new conditions.”

📣 Today, Apache Stronghold is ending a cross-country prayer journey at the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., to protect the sacred site of Oak Flat.

Known in Apache as “Chi’chil Biłdagoteel,” Oak Flat in Arizona is sacred to Apaches and other Tribes that have held ceremonies there since time immemorial. As Apache Stronghold writes, it is “the birthplace of our religion and the site of sacred ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else.”

The federal government has a responsibility to honor Native sovereignty and religious rights. Congress must act now without waiting for federal courts, which have failed to protect Oak Flat so far.

“We want our stuff to change in our community,” she said. “Things will change as long as we vote.” She says she didn’t vote until 2020 after George Floyd’s murder inspired her to go to the polls. “I just felt like we can’t sit on the sideline and not do something if we don’t have a voice,” she said.

🪶 The American Indian Religious Freedom Act was passed on this day in 1978. Prior to this vital legislation, our ceremonies and beliefs were prohibited within the United States. Despite the passage of this law, Tribes continue to struggle for the right to practice our beliefs.

Oak Flat is a deeply important sacred place for the Western Apache people. It is where many medicines grow and the location for ceremony. But Oak Flat, known as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, has been threatened with greed and extraction for over a decade. A coalition called Apache Stronghold sued the U.S. government in federal court and now are preparing to take their rights to the Supreme Court.

We must remain vigilant and continue to support efforts that protect our sacred places and our right to practice our traditional beliefs.

Tap the link in our bio to contact your Congressional Representative on this 46th anniversary of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act and tell them to sign on to the Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act, which would repeal the legislation that is threatening this sacred place.

We recently joined Native leaders in Washington, D.C. to urge the Biden administration and Congress to protect Native voting rights in the 2024 elections, including passing legislation to address the barriers Native peoples face when voting, such as limited access to polling places, language barriers, and discrimination.

When we turn out the Native vote, we demonstrate our collective power in the electoral arena. But there’s been backlash to our progress. That’s why it’s vital we keep community as the forefront of our focus which is on growing an ecosystem of Tribal leaders, traditional societies, and grassroots community organizers that are defending Native sovereignty across Turtle Island.
