    A state committee has approved a proposal from five American Indian tribes to give central New Mexico’s Mount Taylor temporary protection as a cultural property at a contentious meeting attended by hundreds of people.

    The state Cultural Properties Review Committee voted 4-2 June 14 in Grants for an emergency listing of more than 422,000 acres (660 square miles) surrounding the mountain’s summit on the state Register of Cultural Properties.
