THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2002 The National Trust for Historic Preservation is releasing its list of most endangered historic places. Included are sacred sites along the Missouri River. Tribal representatives at a Senate hearing on Tuesday described the dangers to burial sites and ceremonial areas in a number of states. Also going on the list is land in Imperial County, California, where sacred trails, markers and other sites are located. The Quechan Nation is fighting plans to build an open-pit gold mine there. The Clinton administration denied federal approval in December 2000. But Secretary of Interior Gale Norton removed a legal obstacle to the project. Get the Story:
