  • President Biden is set to dedicate two new national monuments in California on Tuesday, designed to protect tribal lands.
  • The Chuckwalla National Monument will be established in southern California’s Colorado Desert, while the Sáttítla National Monument will be located near the Oregon border.
  • Reports suggest that the Chuckwalla monument will cover 644,000 acres and the Sáttítla monument will encompass around 200,000 acres.
  • This designation aims to restrict mining and solar energy development in these areas, following significant lobbying from local tribal groups.
  • Legislation was co-sponsored by prominent California lawmakers, emphasizing the input from tribal leaders advocating for the protection of these landscapes.
