Valles Caldera Seeks Public Input On Management Zoning
NPS News:
JEMEZ SPRINGS The National Park Service wants to hear from the public as it considers a zoning approach to help guide future planning and management decisions at Valles Caldera National Preserve.
“Public and tribal feedback and engagement are important at this early phase and will help guide how we define and plan future management at Valles Caldera National Preserve,“ Superintendent Jorge Silva-Bañuelos said. “Our goal is to preserve and protect fundamental resources and values within the park while enhancing sustainable visitor access, experiences, and opportunities.”
Valles Caldera National Preserve created three draft zoning options to guide future planning and management. Management zoning aims to balance how the park supports visitor services and recreational opportunities with the stewardship of the special natural and cultural resources and values that bring people to experience the park.

Some Indigenous histories are preserved in stories, songs, ceremonies and elder testimony that are passed down orally rather than with written records. These histories can constitute important evidence of past events. But they re sometimes ruled inadmissible as evidence in the American justice system.
That s what happened when lawyers for the Jemez Pueblo presented oral histories as proof of its aboriginal claim to land in the now federally managed Valles Caldera National Preserve in Northern New Mexico s Jemez Mountains. A federal district judge dismissed those histories under what s known as the hearsay rule, and in 2019, struck down the Pueblo s land claim.
