The Bureau of Land Management is opposing a request by the Zia Pueblo to obtain 14,000 acres of federal land.

The tribe uses the area to obtain pigments and paints used for pottery and religious ceremonies. The BLM fears the land, which contains dinosaur fossils and rare plants, will be closed off if transferred.
