USAF Partners with Pueblo to Clear Native Lands of Old Ordnance

Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico

In a press release Isleta Pueblo Tribal Council Governor Eugene Jiron said, "We truly appreciate the Air Force coming out here. Seeing everyone working together shows we have a strong partnership with Kirtland. This cleanup matters to our community, we have families who graze cattle here and we allow hunting in these areas. Clearing old munitions helps keep them safe."

The Pueblo and Kirtland AFB have committed to work together to address buried ordnance in other areas in future joint efforts.
