Today's rally coincided with the deadline to submit comments on the Bureau of Land Management's proposal to stop new oil and gas leasing for a 20-year period on roughly 350,000 acres of land within a 10-mile radius of Chaco Culture National Historical Park. More than 20 people attended the rally and participants contributed their name and comments to an artistic display of what it means to truly 'Honor Greater Chaco'.
