Native America Calling: Border wall construction damaging sacred sites
Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Border wall construction damaging sacred sites

Construction crews working on the wall along the U.S. border with Mexico significantly damaged a 1,000-year-old geoglyph located in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona.

The geoglyph site one of a number of places tribes on both sides of the border say are damaged or are threatened by the fast-tracked construction process. Tribal leaders say such desecration is happening at a record pace after the Trump administration sidelined cultural and environmental barriers to construction.

Tune into Native America Calling to hear from cultural historians and policy experts about that is being lost and what can be done about it.
