Earth+Bone, Part 6: San Carlos Apache Divided Over Copper Mine

Nosie
Laurel Morales
Former San Carlos Apache Chairman Wendsler Nosie Sr. has fought a copper mine for many years.

The Dakota Access Pipeline has brought a megaphone to the battle between what tribes believe to be sacred and what westerners consider fair game all across the United States. KJZZ’s Fronteras Desk Correspondent Laurel Morales spent months digging deeper into this pervasive issue here in the Southwest to produce this series Earth+Bone.


Laurel Morales was a Fronteras Desk senior field correspondent in Flagstaff from 2011 to 2020.
