Some experiences and places can be transformative or change someone's perspective. Oak Flat or Chi'chil Biłdagoteel, a sacred land in southeastern Arizona, is the kind of place that stays with you way after you visit, and so are the people of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, who have lived in and cared for this beautiful high desert since time immemorial.
That was the experience that members of the National Wildlife Federation and the HECHO teams had during a recent visit to Oak Flat, about 60 miles east of Phoenix, where they saw firsthand the extraordinary beauty of this area at risk and listened to the eye-opening testimonies of members of the Apache Stronghold.
Listen to Naelyn Pike, member of the Apache Stronghold.
