Cross-country prayer journey to save sacred land garners Presbyterian support

Posted August 30th, 2024

Apache Stronghold is making a cross-country trek to preserve sacred land in Arizona and is garnering continued support from Presbyterians and other allies along the way to the nation’s capital. The Native American-led community organization, based in San Carlos, Arizona, is making a prayer journey to the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C., in an attempt to preserve Oak Flat, a site in Tonto National Forest known to the Apache as Chi’chil Bildagoteel, from corporate destruction.
