The FBI is seeking leads into those responsible for spray painting graffiti over petroglyphs on Bureau of Land Management land near Santa Fe. In January, vandals destroyed rock art in Texas’ Big Bend National Park dating back thousands of years. They’re the latest in an ongoing stream of vandalism on sacred and important Native treasures around the country. We explore what drives people to disrespect irreplaceable Native items and what can be done to prevent it.
