Advocates for limiting mining around Grand Canyon National Park are expressing hope that a new national monument would preserve the land for future generations ahead of President Joe Biden's Tuesday visit.
Representatives of various northern Arizona tribes have been invited to attend the president’s remarks. Among them are Yavapai-Apache Nation Chairwoman Tanya Lewis, Colorado River Indian Tribes Chairwoman Amelia Flores, Navajo President Buu Nygren and Havasupai Tribal Councilwoman Dianna Sue White Dove Uqualla. Uqualla is part of a group of tribal dancers who will perform a blessing.
“I’m all for it because we’ve had such a bad experience with it, why would we try to entertain it again?” he told The Associated Press on Monday. Tribes and environmentalists for decades have been trying to safeguard the land north and south of Grand Canyon National Park, while Republican lawmakers and the mining industry tout the economic benefits and raise mining as a matter of national security.
