Sociology/Anthropology at Hendrix

Please read and sign to help protect our fragile archaeological treasures in the U.S.

NM Director Paul Reed: "We are appalled that Secretary Burgum is moving to revoke the mineral withdrawal and put Chaco’s 10-mile zone of protection and the Greater Chaco Landscape at risk. The amazing cultural heritage of Chaco Culture National Historical Park must not be compromised. If the process moves forward, a 7-day comment period is ridiculously short and not compliant with established practice. This process should unfold with a 90-day NEPA process and public meetings, allowing the public to fully participate."
