Good morning, Flagstaff.

NAU will host a screening of 'The Return of Navajo Boy' on Sunday, Sept.

21 at 1 p.m. after a noon reception—panels on uranium mining's impact will follow.

Rep. Gosar introduced two bills that would remove protections on over 1 million acres of Arizona land—including the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints national monument established in 2023 to safeguard tribal lands near the Grand Canyon—and cancel protections for the Ironwood Forest National Monument near Tucson, a move that could boost energy development while risking environmental harm. The proposals have raised concerns among conservationists and tribal groups about the long-term impact on sacred land and natural resources.
