Chaco Canyon Hearing Gets Heated

Navajo Nation citizens expressed disappointment with Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) and the Bureau of Land Management for stripping away their mineral rights at a Congressional subcommittee hearing on Wednesday. The July 12 hearing focused on a bill that would reverse protections around Chaco Culture National Historical Park (CCNHP) in New Mexico and restore Navajo mineral rights in the area. At stake are Navajo Nation’s mineral rights to land surrounding the National Park, which many citizens use to support themselves and their families.
