President Biden is establishing two new national monuments in California, focusing on conservation and honoring Indigenous heritage, with a goal of protecting 30% of lands by 2030.
The Chuckwalla National Monument will protect a significant area in Southern California, banning drilling and mining, while the Sáttítla National Monument honors tribal heritage in Northern California.
Biden's actions reflect his commitment to the 'America the Beautiful' initiative, which seeks to enhance access to nature and preserve sites of cultural importance to Native tribes.
The Pit River Tribe has long advocated for the designation of the Sáttítla National Monument, which serves as a spiritual center and habitat for rare wildlife.
