Diné community leaders protest Trump proposal to remove Chaco Canyon mining ban

Diné community leaders and allotment shareholders are protesting a Trump administration proposal to revoke a 2023 Biden-era Bureau of Land Management (BLM) order that banned oil and gas extraction near New Mexico’s Chaco Culture National Historical Park. The 20-year ban protects over 338,000 acres around the culturally significant site, but the Trump administration seeks to lift it to enable mineral leasing in the region.
