The Nor-Rel-Muk Tribe of California is trying to protect one of its most sacred sites from further damage.

Kok-Chee-Chup-Chee is a natural rock formation where tribal ancestors went for spiritual guidance. But it became a mass burial ground in 1852, when settlers attacked the tribe, killing upwards of 300 men, women and children.

The tribe says the Natural Rock has been destroyed by rock climbers, vandals an others. A local climbers group has decided to stop scaling the rock and a national group supports a voluntary ban by the U.S. Forest Service.
