San Carlos Apache elders from Arizona are taking part in a protest this week against a telescope observatory built on a sacred mountain.

The protest is taking place at the University of Minnesota. The school's board of regents is meeting this week to discuss involvement in the project.

Several tribes in the Southwest consider Mt. Graham sacred.
