Stupas in New Mexico - and the saga of the "No Name Stupa"
Stupas along the Rio Grande part 1
Stupas along the Rio Grande part 2 - this page contains information about the original site of the "No Name Stupa" in Albuquerque
After forcing the sale of property on which an Albuquerque Buddhist couple had built a stupa, the National Park Service first planned to bulldoze the Stupa. After public protest and wrangling for several years, the Park Service agreed to move the Stupa. It is now on private property near Albuquerque
Note - to see full articles on the Albuquerque Journal web pages, one sometime has to answer a short quiz. It's pointless and annoying, but there's no way around it.

Be careful when trolling the InterNet - there are some very strange sites out there. There are also many very good informative ones. As part of this course, I hope you will develop the ability to distinguish a good factual presentation from one which is merely someone's opinion and personal agenda.
Also, be very careful to cite your sources, and try to put things into your own words, rather than just copy and paste from a web page.
