A box removed from the Santa Fe Plaza Obelisk base – AOL

Santa Fe, Nm (Krqe) – Krqe News 13 views the base of the Obelisk of Santa Fe Plaza now that the box around it is gone. The crews took out the wooden box earlier this month after a judge ordered the soldiers to be restored.

The box was in place since 2020, when protesters torn the obelisk during a demonstration of the Native Population Day. In fact, a large part of the stone on the base remains damaged. Security cameras are in place on the square to deter more vandalism.
