ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In an effort to safeguard sacred tribal lands, federal authorities announced a plan Monday to protect more than 4,000 acres within the Placitas area in New Mexico’s Sandoval County.
The Pueblos of San Felipe and Santa Ana have long sought protections for the Placitas area, which they consider ancestral and sacred lands. The proposed withdrawal is on four separate tracts and contains known archaeological resources that range from as early as the prehistoric Paleoindian period through the historic Statehood period and beyond.
