Reflection/Evaluation
Several broadbands are working actively with indigenous communities in their homelands. I, unfortunately, got onto the chat late and was not aware of what others had said. I had hoped to include my interaction with the Chaco Canyon Coalition to protect the Chaco Canyon area from oil and gas developments in the northwestern part of our state. My main point would have been that, as a newcomer to this group, I was mainly in the role of a listener. Also at a later event, a Fracking Tour led by a few of the leaders of this coalition, I also was not an expert, but a listener.
