This is clearly political retribution against Eloise Cobell and all the Native People who won the legal right to be compensated by the Oil and Gas Companies for all the Natural Resources sold off their land. (Cobell vs Salazar 2009)
For some reason, I break down in tears every time I visit Chaco Canyon!!! It's an extremely spiritual experience for me for some reason I don't even understand.
It was probably way more spiritual before the Federal’s desecrated all the graves at Chaco and permanently exhumed all the bodies for their labs and museums. No one cared when that happened. No one cared when they actually started DRILLING all those wells, FIFTY YEARS AGO. Furthermore, no one cared about Chaco until Eloise Cobell won her landmark legal case against the Oil and Gas Companies; and now the Navajo Families who live at Chaco actually have a legal right to receive oil and gas royalties for all the oil and gas that gets sold off their private land that just happens to be apart of the Navajo Reservation.
With all due respect to the Pueblo People’s; Chaco was not built or occupied by Pueblo People or their Ancestors. The Federal’s already desecrated all the graves at Chaco and permanently exhumed all the bodies for their labs and museums. Subsequent testing on the exhumed bodies revealed that they were a unique people group who displayed unique physical structures including polydactylism, which is having six toes and six fingers.

Great video!!! Really hits home the point on many fronts. We really need to protect these incredible treasures and give them the space they need. It is important to note that people from all cultures find peace and calm when they visit Chaco making it a world heritage.

I grew up in this area, just a few miles from Chaco Canyon from 1961 to 1979. The natural gas fields there did not affect the well being of the Chaco National Historical Center. To the contrary, the leasing fees paid by El Paso Natural Gas Company helped provide jobs, housing, and access to basic amenities such as roads, electrical power, and water, constructed by EPNG to many Navajo Nation people living there, With the current restrictions now in place, many of them now live at the poverty level. The natural gas wells there were built and maintained with the local ecology in mind. Those of us who grew up there have been taught the history of the Anasazi in our schools (Bloomfield Unified) and respect the culture that once thrived there. The natural gas provided by these fields has supplied southern California since 1945 from the San Juan Basin. So many of the myopic people who protest these fields grew up under the auspices of the energy they provided. Any maps and aerial photos taken will reveal no wells near enough to Chaco Canyon Historical Park to even remotely threaten its well being. They have actually provided access for local sheep and cattle ranchers to bring their herds in for spring and summer grazing. Local climate has done more to erode, and damage the sites such as Pueblo Bonito and Pueblo Del Arroyo. Also, until the 1980's excavation restrictions, archaeological excavations were the major cause of damage to the sites. Backfilling of excavation sites is now the chosen method to preserve the ruins from erosion. So damage to Chaco Canyon and its contemporary inhabitants has been done way more by archaeologists and the government, than the gas companies ever did. But that is the government for you. Blame anyone else for their shortsightedness and blunders.

Please sign the public opinion to stop this harmful drilling and any exploration. My family is from this area and we need to preserve this. Thank you!

I agree, feel the same way. Lots of ancient spiritual energy there. Love it...

All sincere respect to the ancient Puebloans who created this civilization and their descendants who struggle to preserve their legacy...

Yes, all due respect to the cannibals who exploited the enslaved tribes they abused and slaughtered.

Congratulations to all! A powerful film which I pray will help extend protections to a place that means so much to so many people.
