World Wilderness Congress and protecting Oak Flat
This week, Indigenous leaders, climate, activists, and community members from more than 80 different nations around the world are convening in Rapid City, South Dakota.

The 12th World Wilderness Congress will be looking at concerns and solutions to issues facing forest health, biodiversity, and wildlife. Join Native America Calling to talk with elders actively addressing these issues.

Also, tune in for updates from the group Apache Stronghold as they make their way across the country raising awareness of a copper mining project on Oak Flat in Arizona before stopping in Washington D.C. The group will turn to the U.S. Supreme Court for protections of the sacred site.
