President Joe Biden designated two sites in California as national monuments that will honor Native American tribes while shielding picturesque mountains and deserts from mining and energy

Proclamations set to be signed Tuesday will create the Chuckwalla National Monument in Southern California near Joshua Tree National Park and the Sáttítla National Monument in Northern California.

Tribal communities in Northern California’s mountainous interior are celebrating the recent designation of Sáttítla Highlands National Monument after decades of advocacy work to increase land protections in the area.
