McCollum Joins Grijalva for Forum on Protecting Native American Sacred Sites

Statement

Date: Nov. 4, 2015
Location: Washington, DC

"Oak Flat is a sacred site for the Apache people," said Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), the co-chair of the Congressional Native American Caucus. "A great injustice was done when this holy and protected place was given away to a foreign corporation in last year's National Defense Authorization Act. Today, my colleagues, hundreds of Americans and I are speaking out against this injustice and voicing our opposition to policies that disrespect public lands and limit the religious liberty of Native American tribes."
