Sacred Lands, Native Hands

Thank you Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Laphonza Butler, and Congressman Adam Schiff for calling on President Joe Biden to use the Antiquities Act to designate Sáttítla National Monument.

We stand with the Pit River Nation in support of protecting their homelands.

For years, Sáttítla has been threatened by industrial scale energy development. Designating Sáttítla National Monument will honor Tribal stewardship, protect critical water sources, and ensure access to sacred, healing spaces for future generations of the Pit River Nation.
