DoomsdaysCW<p>The massive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CopperMine</span></a> that could test the limits of religious freedom </p><p>Story by Taylar Dawn Stagner </p><p>"Earlier this month, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to stop the construction of a copper mine in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arizona</span></a> on land sacred to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanCarlosApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SanCarlosApache</span></a> Tribe as well as other Indigenous nations. Chí’chil Biłdagoteel, also known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OakFlat</span></a>, sits atop the third largest copper deposit on the planet and is essential to green energy projects. The operation, which will be run by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResolutionCopper</span></a>, a subsidiary of mining companies <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RioTinto</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BHP</span></a>, will leave a crater nearly 1,000 feet deep and 2 miles wide.</p><p>"'Oak Flat is like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MountSinai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MountSinai</span></a> to us — our most sacred site where we connect with our Creator, our faith, our families and our land,' said Wendsler Noise of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ApacheStronghold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ApacheStronghold</span></a>, a nonprofit fighting to protect the area. 'We vow to appeal to the Supreme Court.'</p><p>"Over the years, Oak Flat has developed a storied history. In 2014, Oak Flat was a part of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MilitarySpending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MilitarySpending</span></a> bill that would allow the government to 'swap' the area with other land in Arizona. In 2016, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in an attempt to protect it, and in 2021 the Apache Stronghold sued the government, arguing that the land was reserved for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternApaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternApaches</span></a> in an 1852 treaty. Then, in 2023, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> Stronghold made the case that the land transfer would keep them from exercising their religion. The court disagreed. </p><p>"The issue before the court illustrates a battle between religion, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousRights</span></a>, and potential solutions to the climate crisis. For tribal nations like the San Carlos Apache who practice what are known as 'land-based religions' — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ceremonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceremonial</span></a> practices that are inextricably tied to areas Indigenous peoples have relationships with — preserving those lands with religious significance is paramount to the survival, and transmission, of both culture and values to the next generation. </p><p>"But for developers, the proposed mine would support a few thousand jobs for the surrounding community, inject $61 billion into the local economy, and provide a critical supply of copper for everything from electric vehicles to energy storage systems. By 2031, the world will need almost 37 million metric tons of copper to continue the process of green-energy electrification. Resolution Copper said that Oak Flat could provide a quarter of U.S. copper production. </p><p>"At the heart of Apache Stronghold’s legal case is something called 'substantial burden' — there must be proof that the government has interfered with an individual’s right to practice their religious beliefs. Substantial burden protects U.S. citizens from government interference, unless the government has a really good reason. That means Apache Stronghold’s claim needs to be justified with a high level of scrutiny.
