San Carlos Apache leader Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. will discuss his tireless work to prevent the desecration of Oak Flat, an Apache sacred site in what is now southeastern Arizona, from a mine operated by international mining giant Rio Tinto. What does defending your homeland look like, and how can we protect the places that we call home, whether in Oak Flat, the Gila, or elsewhere on this beautiful planet?
