"On our prayer journey to the Supreme Court we gathered with the Fort Yuma #QuechanNation. We met with Quechan leaders and members. We had an empowering discussion with council members and Lorey Cachora, archaeologist and tribal historian.

"Dr. Nosie has stated, 'The fight to protect Oak Flat is bigger than an Apache fight. It is now a fight to protect the human existence and #MotherEarth.'"

WINTERHAVEN, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - "The Quechan Tribe held the Kwanamii Spirit Run on Saturday. The event started at 9:00am at the Quechan Community Center, with registration starting at 8:30am.

"According to sources, the run is to protect their sacred lands in regards to the #OroCruzGoldMine, which they say will mine in their land.

"This is our identity. As a #NativeAmerican this is part of us and this is a part of what we are. This is what our ancestors had left us, so this is why we run. We run to be recognized as a whole, to show others this is what our ancestors had left us and this is why we're here: To show the younger generations, 'Hey, we need to be involved.'"- Conan Nierenhausen, member of the #QuechanTribe
