Brophy Native American Club

Indigenous affinity group at Brophy advocating for the inclusion of more Native students, protection of sacred sites, and elevating of native voices.

[Brophy Native American Club @BrophyNAC]

We ran 227 miles through snow, forest and desert to pray & protest for the protection of Oak Flat in Arizona's Tonto National Forest.

Oak Flat, a sacred site to the Apache, will be destroyed by a copper mine unless you step up @SenMarkKelly

Support the Save Oak Flat Act now!

Indigenous people are the first Americans, not "Anti-American". We are standing up for Oak Flat to protect the water, land, and the right to practice religion for all people.

@GovernorHobbs Love to see you talking water security. Did you know the proposed Resolution Copper mine at Oak Flat would use 250+ BILLION GALLONS of AZ's water? That's enough water for 180,000 people annually for 40 years.  We hope you'll say no to this project! #SaveOakFlat

Landscapes are urbanizing in the Southwest. For communities who have lived on these lands for centuries, the lack of accessibility prevents them from preserving their traditions & architecture. That's the case for the Great Bend of the Gila.

An excerpt from Pope Francis' latest encyclical Ladato Deum.

[HECHO @HECHOOnline]

Resolution Copper’s proposed mine at Oak Flat will not only exhaust 250 billion gallons of water & destroy vital aquifers in the area, but the tailing site will also pose a risk to nearby communities.

Henry Muñoz, a retired miner, explains why.

Years of hard work by the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition paid off this week when Pres. Biden designated the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni as a nat'l monument in the #GrandCanyon.

What a momentous occasion for the protection of #publiclands!
