FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2002 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the Department of Interior, will be holding consultation sessions in New Mexico to discuss a proposed critical habitat for the endangered silvery minnow. Tribes are invited because the plan passes through Pueblo land. Starting at Cochiti Pueblo, 45 miles of the 200-mile proposed designation affect a total of six Pueblos. A session is being held at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque on June 26. The Department of Interior raised the idea of draining a lake at Cochiti Pueblo to ensure water for the fish. Tribal leaders vehemently objected and the state's U.S. Senators said they would kill any funding. Get the Story:
