'Biden to use his authority to work with the Indigenous nations of the region to protect that gift for future generations.'
The Biden administration is currently considering the creation of a new national monument that would protect over a million acres of the public lands surrounding Grand Canyon National Park. The proposed Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument represents a transformative opportunity, not only to protect the irreplaceable ecosystems of the Grand Canyon region but to imagine a more just and equitable future for the public lands of the United States.
People are also reading… Efforts to conserve public lands in the Western United States have not always been so inclusive. For those of us who grew up believing the celebrated idea, first articulated by writer Wallace Stegner and popularized by documentarian Ken Burns, that these public lands represent America’s “best idea,” an honest look at the history of how our national park system came to be can be sobering.
In the 117 years since Roosevelt signed that act, generations of Indigenous activists have begun to transform how the rest of us understand the relationship between public lands and Indigenous peoples.
As Hopi Chairman Timothy Nuvangyaoma said in voicing his support for the proposed monument, “The creator gave us a gift. That gift is in the form of the Grand Canyon. That gift is not only to the tribal nations that have that intimate connection with it, it’s a gift to the state of Arizona, it’s a gift to the United States, it’s a gift to the entire world.
