Chaco Canyon and the Greater Chaco Area are among the world’s most treasured sacred and archaeological sites, but the region is threatened by fossil fuel extraction. In Part 1 we heard from activists and Native people involved in resisting the expansion of drilling and fracking in the Greater Chaco Area. In this episode, Part 2, we will hear from a New Mexico State Legislator Derrick Lente, Executive Director of Salmon Ruins Museum Larry Baker, Eric Blinman Director of the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies, and Preservation Archaeologist Paul Reed.
