Editorial: Protect the Owyhee Canyonlands | Opinion |

The Owyhee Canyonlands is where Wilson Wewa’s grandson marveled that it was so quiet he could hear his own heartbeat.

It is where you can look up and see a dazzling, star-filled night sky, look down and see a river enameled green, hemmed in by sheer cliffs.

And it is where Wewa, a Paiute elder, conservationists and others would like President Biden to use the Antiquities Act to protect the Owyhee with national monument status.
