This memorial affirms the State of New Mexico's commitment to protecting Mount Taylor, a site of profound cultural significance for local indigenous communities, and opposes any uranium mining projects that threaten its integrity. Mount Taylor has been recognized as a traditional cultural property since 2009, following advocacy from various tribes, and its designation was upheld by a 2014 Supreme Court decision. The memorial highlights the potential dangers posed by proposed uranium mining, including environmental degradation, contamination of vital water sources, and health risks to both indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

The House of Representatives resolves to oppose uranium mining projects that could harm Mount Taylor and urges federal and state agencies to deny permits for such activities within the mountain's boundaries. Additionally, it calls on Congress to reform the General Mining Act of 1872 to prioritize the protection of sacred cultural sites and ensure meaningful tribal consultation in resource-related decisions. The memorial also directs that copies be sent to various government officials and agencies to emphasize the importance of safeguarding Mount Taylor.
