Zuni Salt Lake is one of America’s 11 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: Zuni Salt Lake in New Mexico, which is threatened by the Salt River Project’s proposed coal stripmine, and Ocmulgee Old Fields, a national monument in Georgia, where ancestral mounds may soon be destroyed by highway construction. For more information see our pages on Zuni Salt Lake and Ocmulgee Old Fields, or check out our map of endangered sacred lands (currently threatened) and our map of historic sacred places (where conflicts have been essentially resolved and lessons learned).
