For too long, federal land management laws have led to the desecration of sacred cultural sites on public lands. But right now, there’s a bill in Congress that would advance Tribal management of public lands and improve the protection of sacred and cultural sites. The Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act would: establish a national system of culturally significant sites on public lands prohibit mining and other harmful forms of development that would impair the areas’ cultural values honor Tribal Nations’ sovereign right to protect, co-manage, and prevent the further degradation of our sacred places The Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act would ensure that Indigenous communities are included in decision-making on the fate, management, and stewardship of our sacred places. It would strengthen Tribal Nations’ inherent and legal right to govern themselves. We’re calling on Congress to pass this important legislation to protect places of cultural and traditional significance -- places of Indigenous foods, medicines, ceremony, burial sites, and creation stories. Please send a message to your members of Congress: Protect Native sacred places and Tribal sovereignty by passing the Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act now.
