Arizona tribes want the U.S. to create land protections for areas next to the Grand Canyon. The area encompassing 1 million acres is considered sacred to the Indigenous people.

Tribes in Arizona are looking to persuade Biden to use his authority under the Antiquities Act of 1906 to make the designation for a little more than 1 million acres, or about 1,560 square miles.The announcement during a virtual news conference came days before Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is scheduled to visit Nevada.
