Happy News! Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, "Native American history is American history."

Biden to establish national monument preserving ancestral tribal land around Grand Canyon.
And the GOP can stick their "woke nonsense" up their ass.

Joe Biden is the best President of my lifetime and he has hired the best people too. This is a gift to
the people of the world and it honors "The Peoples" that were already here when Europeans showed
up.




Thanx to duer riversedge for posting this story.

The designation is a reminder of a “new era” in which collaboration and stewardship with tribes is valued, said U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the first Native American cabinet secretary.

The application of the LBN rules seems a bit arbitrary at times...

It shows real movement for the common good and respect to the Native Peoples in asking for their help
for those 1 million acres. I hope someday the American Jaguar and Mexican Grey Wolf once again can
run on those lands.
