"For us in New Mexico, our public lands are Indigenous lands. They are the historic lands of our communities."

"As we all know, our national parks play an essential role in preserving our most treasured landscapes, our cultural landscapes, our historic, natural, and cultural resources."

"The economic impact shouldn't really be involved here, this is more important."

"It is very important for us that our communities have a seat at the table in any kind of consultation regarding our national parks."
