Apache Stronghold: Protecting the Sacred -- A Response to the President

Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold response to President Trump:

Our nation cannot survive if we sacrifice what is sacred in pursuit of temporary profits.

Today, President Trump said he wants to destroy our holy ground of Oak Flat so a foreign-owned corporation can send copper to China. Whether you’re Republican, Democrat, or neither, that is a terrible deal for the American people.

But this fight is much bigger than politics or profit. This is a fight about our identity as a nation.

Do we respect religious freedom? Will we safeguard our environment for our children and grandchildren? Or will we sacrifice it all for corporate greed?

We’re grateful that we’ve been joined in our struggle by people of many faiths—Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, and more—and people of every political persuasion. That’s because this is not a partisan issue. It is a moral one.
