For generations, Pueblo and Tribal Nations have lived, hunted, gathered, and prayed in New Mexico's Chaco Canyon.
Today, it has been officially protected from new oil and gas leasing, a huge step forward on our Administration's historic land and water conservation agenda.
By protecting Chaco Canyon, a sacred place that holds deep meaning for the Indigenous peoples whose ancestors have called this place home since time immemorial, we are living up to our commitments to Indian Country.
