America’s Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places
Posted by: Toby McLeod

The National Trust for Historic Preservation today announced its new list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Topping the list are two landscapes sacred to native peoples. As described by NTHP: “Southern California’s Indian Pass and the upper Missouri River basin are more than a thousand miles apart, but they’re linked by an unfortunate distinction. These lands of great beauty and spiritual significance, home to Native Americans for thousands of years, are both threatened–one by mining, one by government neglect.” For more information see our map of endangered sacred lands.
