“Bluff is where I am from, from the Rez, I can see Bears Ears,” said Navajo Nation Council Delegate and Co-Chair of the Bears Ears Commission, Curtis Yanito (Diné).

From me: ‘What will happen to Bears Ears monument under Trump? Tribes fear loss of sacred spaces’ Via @azcentral.com

Western voters overwhelmingly support keeping national monument protections in place, and ensuring Tribal Nations help lead the care of their sacred places. → 88% support monument protections → 83% of Republicans, 87% of Independents, 97% of Democrats → Even 4 in 5 MAGA voters agree 📸: Tim Peterson
