Bill overview
This bill, the Preserve the Traditional Cultural Place Chí’chil Biłdagoteel Historic District Act, aims to protect a significant area in the Tonto National Forest, known as Chí’chil Biłdagoteel, which is deeply sacred to Western Apache and other Native American tribes. The area, previously slated for mining by Resolution Copper, has been officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its importance as a traditional cultural place and its connection to ancestral lands. The bill seeks to permanently withdraw the land from mining and other development activities, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
