    Arizona News – Wupatki National Monument has initiated a wilderness study and is seeking public comment. This study, in accordance with the Wilderness Act of 1964 and a 2022 National Park Service (NPS) wilderness eligibility determination, will review the ongoing preservation of wilderness characteristics at Wupatki National Monument. The study will complement the recently completed Backcountry Management Plan.  

    The NPS seeks public input on the acreage and boundaries established by the wilderness eligibility determination to help refine those boundaries based on the degree to which the lands reflect wilderness character. The Wilderness Act of 1964 states that federal agencies, like the NPS, are responsible for preserving the character of wilderness areas. This study may result in an official proposal and recommendation for wilderness designation. 

    Public engagement is an essential component of this study, and we welcome public feedback. The comment period will be open from February 2 to March 3, 2023. Please send ideas and comments in any of the following ways:

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
