Chaco Canyon: the Fading West (Doc Lightning 2025 submission)

Описание: LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT*: I wish to honor the indigenous peoples of the region who have protected and stewarded the land in Chaco and the surrounding area for millennia. In an effort to support and elevate the essential voices of Tribes and Pueblos, please see links in the description for Indigenous-led initiatives protecting sacred and public lands, as well as perspectives from Indigenous historians regarding Chaco. A donation has been made by this video's creator to Native Organizers Alliance Action Fund, which has played a key role in the Honoring Chaco Initiative.
