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.
The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition was recognized by Harvard’s Honoring Nations Awards for advancing Tribal leadership, Indigenous stewardship, and a landmark Tribal–federal land management plan, the first of its kind for a national monument.
The Bears Ears Commission proudly announces the finalization of the Bears Ears Resource Management Plan (RMP), a historic achievement that highlights unity, trust, and shared responsibility in the stewardship of Bears Ears National Monument. Developed through years of collaboration between the five Commission Tribes and federal agencies, this plan emphasizes cultural preservation, ecological integrity, and Traditional Knowledge to ensure the protection of this sacred landscape for future generations.
