SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – A resolution on what to do with the Soldier’s Monument in Santa Fe is moving forward following a vote from Santa Fe City Councilors. The obelisk at the center of the plaza was torn down by protestors in 2020. What’s left is in a box at the center of the plaza. The monument honoring Civil War Union soldiers has been criticized for a plaque with a derogatory reference to Native Americans.

The latest version of that proposal initiates a study of the feasibility of moving the monument to the cemetery. Some residents say it's a first step that is long overdue, but others argue it's a waste of time. Ultimately councilors voted to approve the study, saying it will provide information that is needed before any decisions are made.
