Bears Ears Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with an urgent request to submit a comment in support of responsible, Tribally-informed management of the Bears Ears National Monument. As many of you know, the five Tribes – Hopi, Ute Indian, Ute Mountain Ute, Zuni, and Navajo Nation – making up the Bears Ears Commission, have worked tirelessly with federal partners to create a comprehensive Resource Management Plan (RMP) for this sacred landscape.

** Why the Comment Period Matters
------------------------------------------------------------
The draft RMP was released back in March, and the Tribes have recognized Alternative E as their preferred alternative. Tribal leaders agree that Alternative E closely aligns with Tribal values, includes Traditional Indigenous Knowledge, and is consistent with the presidential proclamations that established and then restored the Monument. This alternative reflects a holistic and sustainable approach to land management, furthering the innovative vision held by the Tribes’ since the beginning, balancing public access with the protection of cultural and natural resources. However, the Tribes’ work is far from over.
The public comment period ends on June 11, and we need your help to ensure that Alternative E is incorporated into the final plan for the management of the BENM.
** Here’s how you can take action:
