Biden Expands National Monuments List

News summary

President Joe Biden is expanding the nation's list of national monuments, invoking the Antiquities Act to create six new monuments and restore several others, including Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. These actions not only reflect a commitment to conservation but also address demands for equity and recognition of Indigenous cultural heritage. The Antiquities Act, originally signed by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, has been pivotal in protecting significant landscapes and historical sites. Native American tribes and conservation groups are advocating for additional designations, including sites in California, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Maine. While Biden's adjustments aim to heal past injustices, the history of monument designations includes instances of tribal displacement. The current administration emphasizes collaboration with Indigenous communities to integrate their histories and rights into land management.
