“If you listen very carefully, you’ll be able to hear the footsteps of our ancestors.”
– Stuart Chavez, former Havasupai Tribal Council member

For decades tribal leaders have walked in the footprints of their ancestors, advocating for their ancestral homelands near what is now Grand Canyon National Park.⁠

One year ago, the president listened to Grand Canyon tribes and designated Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument!

Thanks to their hard work, the monument now protects nearly 1 million acres of cultural sites, wildlife habitat, natural landmarks, and precious water sources that flow into the Colorado River. This new collection of videos, photos, and stories highlights the newly protected lands.

Take Action Tuesday📣
The ancient springs of Ash Meadows are more than just water—they are the lifeblood of our desert.

🌿 Ash Meadows is not only an oasis in the Mojave Desert, but also a place where unique species like the Devils Hole pupfish thrive, demonstrating incredible resilience. For 50 years, this area has been a fortress of conservation, a global beacon of biodiversity, and a destination where nature and the economy bloom together.

✨ More than land, Ash Meadows is the soul of the Timbisha Shoshone, Pahrump Paiute, Moapa Paiute, and Chemehuevi Tribes. Let’s honor their heritage by protecting this cherished resource.

💧 Join us in urging @Interior to #ProtectAmargosa. By doing so, we can ensure a thriving future for both local communities and the environment.

📢 Take Action: Let’s stand together to safeguard this precious ecosystem and secure its legacy for generations to come.
