Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel), a sacred site for the Apache people and other Indigenous nations, is once again under urgent threat. The federal government has moved forward with steps that could allow the land to be transferred to a foreign mining company, despite ongoing legal challenges. As Apache Stronghold seeks a court injunction to stop the transfer, we are called to show up in prayer, solidarity, and action.

Join us this Mother’s Day to honor Mother Earth and all life-givers—and to stand for the protection of Oak Flat.

This gathering will be a powerful space of remembrance, resistance, and renewal through prayer, art, and community.

Why This Matters

Oak Flat is home to generations of ceremony, medicine, and cultural lifeways. Its destruction would not only desecrate a sacred site—it would further the long legacy of Indigenous dispossession. Now is the time to show up with courage and care.

What to Expect

• Spiritual reflections and storytelling

• Community altars and offerings

• Music, prayer, and calls to action

• Opportunities to connect with local and national organizers

Bring your heart, your family, your prayers—and your voice!
