Phoenix, February 11 (RHC)-- In Arizona, the contractor hired to build a portion of Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall has begun destroying a sacred Tohono O’odham burial site.  

Monument Hill is partly located within the Roosevelt Reservation west of the border town of Lukeville, Arizona. 

The site was once used for religious ceremonies, and its cultural significance traces back hundreds of years. Since construction of the border wall began at the Arizona border in August, construction crews have also been ripping out saguaros and other protected cactus varieties, as well as pumping scarce water resources.
