Resource Plan
Jan 16, 2025Biden administration and tribes finalize resource plan for Bears Ears National Monument
January 16, 2025
The Biden administration, in collaboration with five Native American tribes, has finalized a groundbreaking resource management plan for Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. This plan integrates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and ensures that Tribal leadership plays a key role in the stewardship of the monument. The new framework marks a significant step in recognizing Indigenous knowledge and authority over cultural and natural resources.
We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
