Hopi and Zuni tribal members held a protest on Monday against a plan to develop a mine near a sacred New Mexico lake.

The protest was held at the headquarters of Salt River Project. SRP wants to mine coal to serve consumers in Arizona.

The Department of Interior has given federal permission for the mine but imposed a number of conditions aimed at protecting the lake.
