>> PRESS COMMUNIQUE
>> For Immediate Release - September 9, 1997
>> by Sandra Rambler
>> =++=++=++=++=++=
>> Former councilmember cited by UA officers for praying on sacred
>> Apache mountain, Mount Graham
>> =++=++=++=++=++=
>>
>> On Saturday, August 30, former Apache tribal councilmember,
>> Wendsler Nosie, was detained by University of Arizona police
>> officers while leaving Mount Graham after having gone there to
>> pray. Nosie was ordered to appear in the Safford Justice Court on
>> September 11 for trespassing.
>>
>> Mount Graham known to the San Carlos Apaches as Dzil Nchaa
>> Si An, is located within the Coronado National Forest. Traditional
>> Apaches were distressed that UA is insisting upon prosecuting a
>> tribal member for praying on the Apaches' sacred mountain.
>>
>> Spokesperson for Apaches for Cultural Preservation, Wendsler
>> Nosie said, "Dzil Nchaa Si An is sacred to me and my people.
>> For centuries, we have been praying on our sacred mountain.
>> For an Apache to be detained and cited for praying on our sacred
>> mountain is an outrageous act by a public university. I believe in
>> the right to exercise my Apache religion and no one can take this
>> away from me nor my people."
>>
>> Yesterday, in the Safford Justice of the Peace Court, Nosie
>> entered a written plea of "Not Guilty". The maximum penalty for
>> the offense is 30 days in jail.
>>
>> The Apache Survival Coalition, headed by Ola Cassadore Davis,
>> outraged that Nosie must appear in court, contends that, "Early
>> in the project, the University claimed they would respect us
>> Apache and allow us to pray and meditate on the summit."
>>
>> Medicine Man, Harold Kenton, said, "nearly every Apache
>> traditional spiritual leader signed a petition which stated, "we, the
>> undersigned spiritual leaders of the Apache people, acknowledge
>> the central sacred importance of Dzil Nchaa Si An (Mount
>> Graham) to the traditional religious practice of the Apache. We
>> oppose the Mount Graham telescope project because it will
>> interfere with the ability of the traditional Apache to practice their
>> religion." He adds, "I will never change my position on this
>> sacred matter. Every Apache must be informed of this religious
>> violation. It's not right that Wendsler Nosie was cited for practicing
>> our Apache religion."
>>
>> In response to questions about Indian claims that the mountaintop
>> is sacred, former UA President, Manual Pacheco was quoted in
>> the Tucson's Arizona Daily Star on September 11, 1991, who told
>> the press, "the university is not, will not, tread on cultural values
>> that might exist."
>>
>> In a letter to the San Carlos Apache Tribal Council on July 6, 1993,
>> Pacheco wrote, "The University of Arizona is concerned and
>> committed to assuring that construction and operation of the Mt.
>> Graham telescope project will proceed with the greatest possible
>> respect and deference to San Carlos Apache religious values and
>> interests."
>>
>> The UA is joined at the Mount Graham Observatory by the
>> Vatican, Germany's Max Planck Institute and Italy's Arcetri
>> Observatory.
>>
>> Nosie is the first Apache to be cited by UA police for praying on
>> the mountain. Nosie added, "After I prayed, there was a large
>> hailstorm coming down the mountain from the top and the access
>> road followed the shortest route off the summit. But I felt real
>> good about my prayers. I know it was powerful. I felt the
>> presence of our Creator."
