    • Frack Off Greater Chaco is a collaborative effort between Indigenous community leaders, Native groups, nonprofits, and public lands and water protectors across the southwest and the country working to stop fracking in Greater Chaco.

      The Greater Chaco Region is a checkerboarded area of Tribal, state, federal, and allotment land. The Bureau of Land Management has approved more than 500 new fracking wells without adequate Tribal consultation or protections for community health, water and climate impacts. Fracking development threatens ancient Chaco culture and sacred sites and also Navajo people and living communities in the area who have been dealing with the impacts of resource extraction for decades.

    • "The oil and gas development has pretty much destroyed our way of life. Our livestock are suffering too. I have been a livestock owner for many years. I made my living by raising sheep and cattle. Now, I am being told by BLM I can only have so many sheep and cattle. My grazing area is getting less and less. But BLM is leasing more and more of the lands to oil and gas development. Soon, there will be nothing left. I believe this is going to happen. My biggest concern is our water, sooner or later it will be contaminated and we will not be able to use our water. How can we get these companies out?"

      - Diné Elder, Woody Keetsy, Sr.
