Carroll, C. (2014). Native enclosures: Tribal national parks and the progressive politics of environmental stewardship in Indian Country. Geoforum, 53, 31-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2014.02.003

I use Carroll to explain why Indigenous stewardship should not be flattened into mainstream conservation. In this project, caring for land is also about authority, governance, and relationship.

Paliewicz, N. S. (2022). Decolonizing Oak Flat: Apache Stronghold's place-based, temporal, and mnemonic dissensus at public hearings. Environmental Communication, 16(5), 664-679. https://doi.org/10.1080/17524032.2022.2036216

This source supports the public-hearing section, especially the idea that Apache Stronghold used place, time, and memory to challenge official decision-making.

Parkhurst, N. A. D. (2017). Protecting Oak Flat: Narratives of survivance as observed through digital activism. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1567

I use Parkhurst for the digital activism section. The source helps frame online storytelling as survivance, more than publicity.

Wenger, T. (2024). Fighting for Oak Flat: Western Apaches and American religious freedom. Journal of Law and Religion, 39(1), 42-65. https://doi.org/10.1017/jlr.2024.3

Wenger helps explain the legal problem: Western Apache relationships to land do not fit neatly into U.S. religious-freedom categories.

Apache Stronghold. (n.d.). Apache Stronghold / Protect Oak Flat.

This keeps the project grounded in the movement's own language, organizing, public education, and calls to action.

Native American Rights Fund. (n.d.). Protecting Oak Flat and Tribal Religious Practices / Defending Oak Flat.

I use NARF for legal and advocacy context about RFRA, sacred places, and the stakes for Native land-based religions.
