House Memorial 37 is a resolution affirming the State of New Mexico's commitment to protecting Mount Taylor as a traditional cultural property and opposing uranium mining projects that threaten its cultural and environmental integrity. The memorial highlights the significance of Mount Taylor to indigenous peoples, noting its designation as a traditional cultural property in 2009 and the Supreme Court's affirmation of this designation in 2014. It outlines the potential threats posed by proposed uranium mining, including environmental degradation, contamination of vital water sources, and risks to public health, particularly for the Pueblos of Acoma and Laguna.

The resolution calls on federal and state agencies to deny permits for uranium mining within the boundaries of Mount Taylor and urges 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 emphasizes the importance of preserving Mount Taylor for future generations and the continuation of traditional practices and cultural identity among Indian nations, tribes, and pueblos.
