    20170204_apacheOak Flat lies within Tonto National Forest, east of Phoenix near the town of Superior. Although it has been protected from mining by Presidential order since 1955, in December of 2014 Senator John McCain (R) added a land exchange rider to the National Defense Authorization Act, thus handing over public lands to Rio Tinto, a foreign-owned mining conglomerate, to extract copper.

    Birders, campers, climbers, and hikers prize the area, and area tribes consider it sacred. The San Carlos Apache tribe is actively opposed to the land exchange and potential mine because of the destructive impact it would have on both the surrounding ecosystem and traditional uses. Historically, the site has been used as an Apache ceremonial and burial site.

    20170204_nosieWendsler Nosie Sr. established Apaches for Cultural Preservation and the Apache Stronghold to protect Oak Flat, and initiated collaboration between all tribes facing similar injustices. He has served as Councilman and Chairman of the San Carlos Apaches, promoted economic development for the tribe, and currently owns and operates the Apache Messenger Newspaper.

    The Politics of Pain

     

    The Politics of Pain

    If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
