Cochiti Pueblo considers parts of the Tent Rocks area to be sacred to the tribe. The Pueblo and the Bureau of Land Management have jointly managed the site near the tribe's central New Mexico reservation since 1997. A Sandoval County resolution which urges Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt to ask President Clinton to declare the site a national monument was approved Thursday by the county commission.
