The city sued, arguing it was never consulted, but a federal court recently sided with the National Park Service, reversing a lower court’s order — prompting the city to seek a rehearing. Meanwhile, the Avenging The Ancestors Coalition warns this could set a dangerous precedent, allowing future administrations to reshape history to fit their narrative.
