Biden to protect vast sacred lands near Grand Canyon
will curb land development on a stretch of nearly one-million acres near Arizona's iconic Grand Canyon, a move intended to cement his environmental credentials in the electoral battleground state.
The new area, whose name is drawn from the languages of the nearby Havasupai and Hopi tribes, straddles the existing Grand Canyon National Park, where the US government forcibly removed Native Americans a century ago. It boasts bison, bald eagles and sites held as sacred by several tribes. Biden, a Democrat seeking re-election in 2024 who has been endorsed by groups including the Sierra Club, has nonetheless angered some environmental groups with moves like the approval of ConocoPhillips' $7-billion oil and gas drilling project Willow in Alaska.
