Abstract

A recent study published in Nature used genomic analysis to connect the Picuris Pueblo Tribe in northern New Mexico to their Chacoan ancestors, shedding light on their ancestral ties to Chaco Canyon. The research aims to bolster tribal land rights and establish a model for collaboration between scientists and Indigenous communities. The study highlights the Picuris Pueblo's continuous presence in the region and their efforts to have their voices heard in discussions about the future of Chaco Canyon, amidst ongoing disputes over natural resources and sacred spaces.
