Aurelia Bullis was working as a bus driver and a teacher at a local Head Strat when she saw a sign recruiting for an Apache language teacher. She got the job. Bullis got a call from her younger sister who knew of a chance to help a filmmaker translate lines into Apache. The filmmaker turned out to be Kevin Costner. The film took Bullis to a filming location, where she finally met Costner. She later helped actors on Zoom and may move on to a new project. FORT THOMAS, Ariz.

The Supreme Court turned down a request by grassroots group Apache Stronghold to hear arguments in a case over a huge copper mine at Oak Flat. Resolution Copper wants to extract copper on land considered sacred by the Apache people and other Indigenous communities. Two justices sided with arguments to hear the case.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a measure that will create Turquoise Alerts when Indigenous people go missing. The bill is known as "Emily's Law," named for San Carlos Apache teen Emily Pike, who was killed earlier this year after she ran away from a Mesa group home. The bill signing comes as the U.S. Department of Justice sends additional resources to Indian Country to deal with missing and murdered Indigenous people.
