“When it comes to Spirit Mountain and the surrounding ridges and canyons, I’m committed to protecting this sacred place that is central to the creation story of so many tribes that are here today,” said Biden at the National Tribal Nations Summit, intending to designate an area in southern Nevada as a new national monument.
Avi Kwa Ame would span an area from Colorado River to the Mojave Reservation and is home to Spirit Mountain, the tallest of the Newberry Mountains. With 703 square miles, this new monument is the spiritual center for over 10 different tribes. Representative Titus and Senators Masto and Rosen are credited with this proposal and have fought vehemently. Hopefully soon, President Biden will use his legislative powers, via the 1906 Antiquities Act, to create this national monument and honor the religious meaning of this sacred land.
