Native Americans

Supporters of the San Carlos Apache Tribe gather outside of the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse in Phoenix May 7, 2025, to protest the sale of Oak Flat, Ariz., land considered sacred by the Apache, to the Resolution Copper mining company. The Trump administration said March 23, 2026, it has cleared a legal path to proceed with a copper mining project it says will increase U.S. energy and manufacturing. However, the site is at the center of a religious liberty dispute rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court last year that a group of Native peoples continued to appeal.
