Preserve the Traditional Cultural Place Chí’chil Biłdagoteel Historic District Act

H.R. 7957 would protect the Chi'chil Bildagoteel Historic District by preserving its status and significance as a Traditional Cultural Place on the National Register of Historic Places. The bill, introduced by Representative Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) in March 2026, aims to safeguard this historic site from potential threats or changes that could compromise its cultural and historical value.

If enacted, this legislation would help ensure the long-term preservation of the Chi'chil Bildagoteel Historic District for future generations. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee for consideration. Citizens in Arizona and those with cultural or historical interests in the region may see benefits from the formal federal protection this bill would provide to the site.
