Information:
Since time immemorial the Newe peoples of Nevada have chosen a unique grove of Rocky Mountain juniper trees, or swamp cedars, for their gatherings and religious ceremonies.
This sacred land in eastern Nevada holds deep significance for them — so three Tribal Nations have proposed protecting all 25,000 acres as Bahsahwahbee National Monument.
Bahsahwahbee was once a large-scale site for religious gatherings, pilgrimages and celebrations, but in the 19th century the Newe were targeted and massacred there on three separate occasions. Designating a national monument on this ground will ensure the commemoration and preservation of this site, honoring the Tribes' wishes and helping protect it under U.S. law for future generations. The Newe are calling on the National Park Service to manage these lands.
Take action: Tell Sec. Haaland and Sen. Cortez Masto you support designating Bahsahwahbee as a national monument.
