“Southeast Arizona
Land Exchange”
Thousands more
will now die is this still what our government wants?
The National Defense
Authorization Act,2015
A proposal in
Section 3003, titled
“Southeast Arizona
Land Exchange”,
is opposed by many
Native Americans, including the 57 member tribes of The Affiliated Tribes of
Northwest Indians, and by the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Association.
This proposal would
permit a subsidiary of the Rio Tinto mining conglomerate, Resolution Copper
Co., to acquire 2,400 acres of the Tonto National Forest, which is considered
sacred for the San Carlos Apache Tribe, for purposes of copper mining.
