“When we put tribal people in decision-making positions, we’re creating a better future for all.” —Charissa Miijessepe-Wilson
For nearly a decade, we’ve joined Indigenous tribes, environmental leaders and the outdoor community in the ongoing fight to preserve Bears Ears and the surrounding landscape as a nationally protected monument. The recent action by the Trump administration to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments is yet another attempt to liquidate public lands.
Tribal Nations are the original stewards of the area, with ties to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante stretching back thousands of years. It is vital we support their vision to ensure these sacred cultural landscapes are protected. The president’s latest actions does the exact opposite. We remain committed to defending the land with those who have stewarded the area for time immemorial. Join us and take action today.
