In the first half of the show, we learn about the ongoing campaign to defend Oak Flat,
a region of Arizona’s Tonto National Forest sacred to the Apache and other Native peoples
of the region. Federal authorities want to allow a large copper mine to be dug there.
The San Carlos Apache say the struggle involves both land defense and religious freedom.
The Supreme Court is slated to hear the case.

In the second half, Mickey and Eleanor critique the recent performance of the media in covering Israel’s ongoing massacres of Palestinians in Gaza. Among other observations, they take note of an article explaining the bizarre tactics Palestinian journalists must use to avoid having their reporting censored by social-media algorithms.

Vanessa Nosie is a member of Apache Stronghold (www.apache-stronghold.com),
an organization working to defend Oak Flat (Chi’chil Bildagoteel).
