Several historically and culturally significant sites along the U.S.-Mexico border face threats from border wall construction and enhanced security measures. These sites include a sacred mountain, ancient canyon art, a historic adobe church, and a pilgrimage site featuring a Christ statue.
Near Big Bend in Texas, a construction crew is working on a new segment of the border wall on Kuuchamaa Mountain. This area holds great significance for Indigenous groups. The construction poses risks to the cultural and historical importance of these sites. Organizations on both sides of the border have expressed concern about the impact of these developments.
