Did Obama Just Block the Sale of Sacred Apache Land to a Foreign Mining Company? Well…
3/17/16
Editor’s Note: Several news outlets of late have carried headlines saying that President Barack Obama has heroically (implying singlehandedly) blocked the sale of sacred Oak Flat to a foreign mining company. While it is true that the National Park Service officially placed the site on the National Register of Historic Places earlier this month, the move falls short of completely halting any mining proposals. Oak Flat is still in jeopardy, as Cronkite News Service reports.
Opponents of a proposed copper mine at the Oak Flat campground scored a point when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places earlier this month. But though they won the battle, they haven’t won the war.
While Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Prescott, said in a prepared statement that the designation is aimed at “sabotaging an important mining effort,” a National Register official said on Monday March 14 that the listing is a “label that yes, it [Oak Flat] is in fact a historic resource,” but it doesn’t necessarily prevent mining at the site.
Paul Lusignan, a historian for the National Register, said the mine’s owners, Resolution Copper, would have had to determine whether the site had historical significance as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review of the project.
The government’sMarch 4 determinationthat Oak Flat is historic removes that step from NEPA, he said, but adds another layer of review because there are now historic resources that must be taken into account.
“Before a federal agency can take any actions, they have to evaluate effects on any property listed on the National Register or eligible for it,” he said.
The historic resources at Oak Flat include sites that the San Carlos Apache consider sacred, said Wendsler Nosie Sr., a former chairman of the San Carlos Apache tribe and a member of the groupApache Strongholdwhich has been fighting the mine.
Nosie acknowledged that the historic listing for the site—identified by the National Register as the Chi’chil Bildagoteel Historic District—will not stop the mine, but he welcomed it as a validation of his group’s claims.”
“To the rest of Congress and the rest of the doubters, it proves that this place is unique for a lot of reasons,” Nosie said on Monday. “We know it’s not a victory, we know it’s a steppingstone for us to step up.”
Nosie said he hopes the listing will bring national attention to the issue and boost support for bills in the House and Senate to reverse the land exchange that cleared the way for the Resolution Copper project.After years of failing to pass the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, the House and Senate slipped the language through in December 2014 as an amendment to adefense funding bill.
The act calls for the government to give about 2,400 acres of copper-rich federally owned land, including Oak Flat, to Resolution Copper in exchange for another 5,000 acres of land owned by the company in southeast Arizona.
The mining company has said the move will create thousands of jobs in southeast Arizona and would add billions of dollars to the state’s economy over its proposed 60-year lifespan. But critics have charged that it would damage environmental and historic sites in the process.
Calls seeking comment fromResolution Copperon the historic designation were not immediately returned Monday. But Gosar made no secret of his opinionin a statementreleased last week.
“Oak Flat has never been a sacred site, as confirmed by the local tribe’s own former historian,” he said, referring to an opinion written by San Carlos Apache Dale Miles.
“Yet, Obama’s minions are hell-bent on sabotaging an important mining effort by listing a small, public campground 20 miles away from the nearest tribe’s reservation as a historic site,” Gosar’s statement said.
Nosie called Gosar’s statements attacks on his tribe’s spirituality.
Robin Silver, co-founder of theCenter for Biological Diversity,said the historic listing is “embarrassing” for mine supporters because it undermines their argument that the site has no spiritual significance.
“Most importantly, it confirms the central sacred importance to the Apache,” Silver said. “Their [opponents’] whole thing is, it’s not important to the Apache, it’s fake—well it’s not.”
Nosie said he hopes the attention can boost support for bills by Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont, and Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson, that would reverse the land-exchange deal.
NeitherGrijalva’s bill, introduced in June,nor Sanders's, which was introduced in November, has received a hearing yet. But Jane Sanders, wife of the Democratic presidential hopeful, assured tribal leaders during a visit to Oak Flat on Sunday that she and her husband would continue to fight to conserve the land.

*I watched this video on FRACKING in North Dakota:
Its pretty incredible. Since the OIL Companies started doing business in the North Dakota there has been an increase in crime, domestic violence, drug/alcohol abuse, drug trafficking, prostitution, unemployment, racketeering, and cost of living. In the middle of North Dakota, it costs over $2,000.00 to rent a one-bedroom apartment. Many of the laid off workers moved across state to work on the Indian Reservation and guess what, there has been an increase in all the things I mentioned above on the reservation.
In my humble opinion, this analysis can be applied to our situation in Hawaii. Once the big ocean mining companies come in, it will be even worse than it is now.

Aloha kakou he Hawai'i PAU?
In (10) days this life as we know it may altered out of existence! Politics is much concocting something of worth on the stove. We can not just stand on the side and let the burn. We must control the heat (our input) and stir the pot every now and then.
I suggest one make believe that you are a passenger on the Titanic of the Lowest Class of Service who were first to notice something was flooding the lower levels and your only way out was to climb up away from the disaster. But when you reached the upper decks all the Elite Class were wined and dancing at the upper levels like nothing was happening? You could not afford to mingle with the Elite Class and besides you certainly could not go back down to your assigned levels. You could not afford the option!
As you vote on November 08 you will again have the option like that of on the Titanic. Do you join the Elite Class that does not know or care about the sinking Ship and its passengers, dancing to the status quo of lies or do you turn away and take your chance on treading open water to safety via the lifeboat name Trump?
Please take a look at Kahu Waxer Tipton's message and share with others!
