Native America Calling: Legal and cultural barriers derail efforts to protect sacred places
Friday, August 27, 2021
Certain hills, mountains, valleys, forests and rivers are among some of the most sacred spaces for Indigenous culture and spirituality. They are included in creation stories.
They include places like Oak Flat, San Francisco Peaks, the Grand Canyon, South Mountain and the Blythe Intaglios. But many of those places are not controlled by tribes.
They fight to protect sacred places from local and federal governments, private landowners and resource development companies. A series of articles by the Arizona Republic finds Western laws about land ownership and what is considered sacred stacks the deck against tribal interests. Native America Calling will hear about the series and from some of the people who continue to work toward protecting sacred land.The final two chapters in the #sacredspaces series are out today! So here is the recap, in order (I recommend reading Chapter 1 first to learn about how we got where we're at now) https://t.co/dAW5n741B7
