Chaco Canyon Public Comment Campaign
In 2022 Nuestra Tierra did our part to make sure that New Mexican communities were informed and able to participate in the Bureau of Land Management’s most recent public comment period regarding the protection of Chaco Canyon. This involved a state-wide educational radio tour, Diné language targeted social media ads, a local film screening of Our Story: The Indigenous Led Fight to Protect Greater Chaco, and more. In 2023, Secretary Haaland withdrew public lands surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park from future extractive leasing.
