Abstract
This article describes the fight of the Western Apache to preserve Dzil Nchaa Si An (Mt. Graham) as an area sacred to the Apache from development by an international consortium of astronomers who wish to establish multiple telescopes in the old growth forest at the summit of the mountain. The author discusses the sacred character of Dzil Nchaa Si An from the standpoint of the Apache, and the attempts to stop development on the mountain.
