Thanks Phil for the link! A powerful essay that comes to me right when I need it as I contemplate writing about 'land back' movements in the US. I will post the link in a Substack Note to start the ball rolling.... Again, many thanks for this and for your own writing!
We are an industry for them, as Bonita Mabo alludes. An industry built on our existence, but not for out survival. They monetise our trauma, whilst gaslighting our resistance. I look forward to your article on the ‘land back’ movement.
St. Patrick's Cathedral wouldn't be destroyed to build a McDonald's, therefore Oak Flat certainly deserves being protected with respect for the Original caregivers-and-receivers.

Thank you Peter for highlighting this case. You may find this link interesting about the Australian transnational Rio Tinto.

This is huge! It's awesome! Good work attorney's for Oak Flats/Apache Stronghold!!
Yes. And the judge did a masterful job of maneuvering through procedure and precedent... I might write something about that...
