For far too long the fossil fuel industry has worked to destroy the sacred places of indigenous people; places like my ancestral homeland of Chaco Canyon – building their profit off of our pain, and destroying our climate and communities in the process. The legislation presented today by Senators Udall and Heinrich, and supported by New Mexico Tribal Leaders is exactly what we need to prevent the leasing of this land for fracking.
