By establishing the area as a national monument, Biden effectively blocked all new uranium mining in the region, an action Native American tribes have supported for decades, the Associated Press reports. Uranium is typically used as fuel for nuclear energy, and mining it can contaminate the environment. “It’s really the uranium we don’t want coming out of the ground because it’s going to affect everything around us—the trees, the land, the animals, the people,” Havasupai Tribal Councilwoman Dianna Sue White Dove Uqualla told the AP. “It’s not going to stop.” Source: Biden Just Made Land Around the Grand Canyon a National Monument—Blocking New Uranium Mining There – Mother Jones

A little of everything…by Magic Mixture – Magic Mixture
Some carbon
much of the water
The air I breathe
the holy land
the ether of the spirit
the form formed
We are complete, we complete
We spin with the Planet
In perfect synchronism
picking up incoming signals
From the deepest furthest
Strolling through the cosmos
we are also stellar
Brought from the ends of the skies
Full of dust from eternity.
Passing through here …
And to take on the trip ,
Only knowledge, wisdom
And love in the bag …
