A new statewide poll shows strong support among Utah voters for restoring protections to Bears Ears and for Tribal Nations having a strong role in managing culturally significant public lands. The results come amid rapid changes at Bears Ears since July.
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.
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.
