This mine will consume enough water to supply a city of 140,000 people every year for 50 years.

This bill will repeal Section 3003 of the NDAA and protect the sacred site for future generations.

This mine would have profound and irreversible impacts on the citizens of Arizona and the environment.

The environmental damage Resolution Cooper can have on this area impacts tribes in Arizona and the water sources of the local community.

Nearby communities need to be concerned about water scarcity, frankly, even without Resolution, and this only makes it worse.

If tribal consultation had been codified at the time of Section 3003's insertion into the NDAA in 2015, could this land transfer have been prevented?

The Subcommittee is meeting today to hear testimony on H.R. 1884, the 'Save Oak Flat Act,' introduced by Representative Raul M. Grijalva of Arizona.

None of that was accomplished here, and what it meant was this bill was passed without the knowledge, the wisdom, the timeless honored traditions of the San Carlos Apache people and was done unilaterally.

H.R. 1884--the Save Oak Flat Act...uphold Indigenous peoples' rights and protect the lands many tribes in Arizona consider sacred.

We have witnessed this foreign mining company destroy an Indigenous sacred site in Australia.

I have been introducing the Save Oak Flat Act to uphold what I believe is essential, the Indigenous peoples' rights to protect the lands.

Our union opposes the legislation under consideration today, the Save Oak Flat Act (H.R. 1884), introduced by Rep. Grijalva.
