Navajo landowners protest Interior Secretary's visit after new ban.

Navajo landowners protested against US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's visit to New Mexico after a new rule was introduced to limit oil and gas activity around Chaco Canyon for the next 20 years. The Navajo landowners blocked the way to the sacred site, forcing Haaland to move to Albuquerque. The landowners feared that their land would be taken from them under the new drilling ban. The conservation efforts have been decades in the making, and those in attendance all view this as a win for Chaco Canyon. The site is held sacred for many Indigenous groups in New Mexico.
