Cocopah Indian Tribe issued the following announcement on July 6
Cocopah Cultural Resources Manager Justin Brundin explains how a partnership with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reduce invasive plants on the West Cocopah Reservation paid off. BIA fire crews for the past two years have been clearing out salt cedar along the Colorado River. As a result, when firefighters on July 2 responded to a 15-acre fire in the area, they were able to save more trees that are culturally significant to the Cocopah people.
