Appeals Court Declines to Reconsider Oak Flat Land Transfer
A federal appeals court has declined to reconsider its decision allowing the transfer of Oak Flat, a site in Arizona sacred to Western Apache tribes, to Resolution Copper for mining. Tribal groups and environmental organizations, including the Center for Biological Diversity, have long fought the land swap, arguing it threatens sacred sites and water resources. The refusal keeps the controversial transfer on track.
Why now: The court's refusal advances a long-running fight over sacred Native American land and copper mining, keeping the dispute in the news.
