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.

Chaco Canyon and the Greater Chaco Area (25 million square miles) are among the world’s most treasured sacred and archaeological sites, but the region is threatened by fossil fuel extraction. In this 2-part Paradigms we will learn from Native people involved in resisting the expansion of drilling and fracking in the Greater Chaco Area.

In Part 1 we hear from Emily Bowie of the San Juan Citizens Alliance, Daniel Tso, and Beata Tsosie-Pena who works for Environmental Justice.

Part 2, we will hear from a New Mexico State Legislator Derrick Lente, Executive Director of Salmon Ruins Museum Larry Baker, Eric Blinman Director of the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies, and Preservation Archaeologist Paul Reed.
