SUPPORTERS - Protect Chuckwalla National Monument

supporters

Tribes led the call to create Chuckwalla National Monument, including the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe, the Cahuilla Band of Indians, the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, the Colorado River Indian Tribes, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, and the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians. The effort was supported by local cities and elected officials, 300+ businesses, business groups, and Chambers of Commerce, and residents of the eastern Coachella Valley and neighboring areas. The California Legislature also passed a bipartisan resolution in support of the monument.
