The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition marks its eleventh anniversary while reflecting on the history of the movement to protect Bears Ears, the development of collaborative management, and the Coalition's continued commitment following recent monument rollbacks.
Following a presidential proclamation dramatically reducing Bears Ears National Monument and terminating the Bears Ears Commission, the five Tribal Nations reaffirm their commitment to protecting this sacred ancestral homeland.
Tribal Nations have stewarded the Bears Ears region for generations and continue to guide its care today through collaborative management, Traditional Indigenous Knowledge, and long-term stewardship.
