California Legislature Passes Resolutions in Support of Protecting Vulnerable Landscapes

|August 29, 2024

On August 28, with overwhelming bipartisan support, the California Legislature passed Senate Joint Resolutions 16 and 17 in support of designating Chuckwalla, Kw’tsán, and Sáttítla National Monuments.

This milestone is a testament to the enduring leadership of Tribal Nations, who have safeguarded their lands for generations. The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe, the Cahuilla Band of Indians, the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, the Colorado River Indian Tribes, the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, and the Pit River Tribe are at the forefront of these efforts, protecting these regions of profound cultural, ecological, and spiritual significance.

We'd like to thank California Assemblymember James Ramos, Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia, Senator Steve Padilla, Senator Ben Allen, and the California Native American Legislative Caucus for supporting Tribal leadership.

Take action: Urge President Joe Biden to use the Antiquities Act to designate Chuckwalla, Kw’tsán, and Sáttítla National Monuments.
