Paws Off Our Public Lands

The Antiquities Act is under attack, and with that our public lands. We need to tell McSally that our cultural sites, lands, and monuments are vitally important for sportsmen, tourism, indigenous peoples and the public.

The bill requires county and state approval for any national monument larger than 10,000 acres. Monuments could no longer be designated to protect natural or scientific wonders — only “objects of antiquity.” The bill would also require private landowners to agree to national monument designations if their land abutted proposed monument boundaries.

**We must take a moment to bring the indigenous peoples into the conversation, and all recognize that the land we are calling public was stolen from them. **
