"The land is sacred to us. It's holy land. It's the place of our creation, and it's been used as a ceremonial gathering and teaching area for our people since time immemorial. That's why it's so important to get a long-term protection solution for this very valuable place."
"Sáttítla translates to 'obsidian place' in the Ajumawi language, referring to the wealth of obsidian deposits in the area, which were formed by ancient lava flows."
