The White House has confirmed the designation of 1 million acres of land near the Grand Canyon as a new national monument. This decision, made by President Joe Biden, will protect historically significant tribal lands and prevent new uranium mines. The monument will be called Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument. The decision by President Joe Biden is the culmination of a lobbying effort by a dozen tribes who have historical ties to the region and advocated for its monument status.
