In this episode, I sit down with my family, Apache Stronghold members to talk about the recent federal court decision temporarily halting the transfer of Oak Flat (Chi'chil Biłdagoteel) to a multinational mining company.

Joining me are Wendsler Nosie, Theresa Nosie, Vanessa Nosie, Naelyn Pike, and Baase Pike, spiritual leaders, land defenders, and family members who have fought for years at the center of this battle.

We reflect on the significance of the court's decision and what it truly signifies to our people and to our future generations. We discuss the spiritual aspect of the struggle, the emotional strength it takes to continue, and the next phases in both the legal and the ceremonial journey to protect Oak Flat. This isn't just a legal battle, it's a battle to preserve our way of life, our connection to sacred lands, and the strength of our ancestors who live on in us.

This event transcends news headlines—it's authentic, improvisational insight into intergenerational struggle, love, and spiritual resilience.

Oak Flat is sacred. The fight is far from over.
