They chime periodically, reporting background radiation detected from nearby objects or carried in the wind.

Tohono Nation Files Lawsuit Over Plans to Take Tribal Land for Border Wall

The Tohono O'odham Nation filed a federal lawsuit to halt the seizure of tribal land for the border wall, pointing out that the United States government is disregarding tribal sovereignty and construction will destroy sacred sites and impact ceremonies and religious practices.
