Stories from Land Defenders at the forefront of conservation in the Greater Grand Canyon Region.
Join us for Episode 2 of our Monuments and Mines series as we speak with Carletta Tilousi of the Havasupai Tribe. Carletta has been instrumental in the defense of the region, as well as in the creation of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni, Ancestral Foot Prints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. In this episode we explore the who, what, where, when, and why behind this monument, and explore the threats Pinyon Plain Uranium Mine, grandfathered into the monument, poses to the region, and how you can get involved.
