On April 26, the current administration issued an Executive Order directing Interior Secretary Zinke to conduct a “Review of Designations Under the Antiquities Act.” Bears Ears National Monument has been specially targeted for expedited ‘review.’ Following Secretary Zinke’s 4-day visit to Utah, the Department of Interior is now requesting public comments from the American people regarding the future of Bears Ears National Monument. All public comments are due by Monday, July 10th.
1. Utah officials are not listening to local Native Americans or respecting sovereign Tribes.
2. Tribes hold a vision for land-use and economic development that is built upon cultural tradition, without undermining it.
3. Bears Ears National Monument will remain open to respectful use of the region by all.
