Apache Stronghold, Oak Flat, Arizona


Naelyn Pike, member of Apache Stronghold, speaking to NWF and HECHO teams at Oak Flat

Protect Oak Flat (apache-stronghold.com)
(HECHO Online) Some experiences and places can be transformative and change our perspective. Oak Flat, or Chi'chil BiƂdagoteel, is a sacred land in southeastern Arizona.
It is the kind of place that stays with one way after a visit, just like the people of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, who have lived in and cared for this beautiful high desert since time immemorial.

That was the experience that members of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and HECHO teams had during a recent visit to Oak Flat, 60 miles east of Phoenix.

Articulate it to a judge; make them understand
They saw firsthand the extraordinary beauty of this area now at risk and listened to the eye-opening testimonies of members of the Apache Stronghold.
