History has been made. Avi Kwa Ame is our nation's newest National Monument!

This video is about the designation of Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument. The speaker, Congresswoman Susie Lee, expresses her belief that this designation is important for Nevada and the country as a whole. She highlights the fact that this designation has been years in the making and will protect one of the world's largest stands of Joshua trees. She also emphasizes the importance of this designation for the spiritual, recreational, and ecological assets of the country.

The inclusion of Tribal Leader Tim Williams in this video would be a valuable addition. Williams could provide a Native American perspective on the importance of Avi Kwa Ame and the significance of its designation as a National Monument. He could also speak to the history and culture of the area, and the role that Avi Kwa Ame has played in the lives of Native Americans for generations.
