The five Tribal Nations of the Bears Ears Commission remain committed to protecting their sacred ancestral homelands through collaborative management and Tribal leadership.

BEARS EARS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Utah, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, President Trump issued a proclamation dramatically reducing Bears Ears National Monument and terminating the Bears Ears Commission, undermining years of progress in collaborative management. The decision weakens protections for a living cultural landscape and sacred ancestral homeland that has been cared for by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and is a major setback to one of the nation's most extraordinary models of collaborative management of public lands between Tribal Nations and federal agencies.
