- Description:
- The document describes the history of the Taos Pueblo Indians and their fight to regain control of their land. The land in question is the Blue Lake area, which is considered sacred by the tribe. The US government has been slowly taking away the tribe's land, and the tribe has been fighting to get it back. The most recent development is a bill that would give the tribe control of the Blue Lake area, but the US Forest Service is opposing the bill. The tribe believes that the entire watershed is sacred, not just specific locations, and that anything that harms the watershed hurts the tribe.
