Six tribes — Hopi, Navajo, Ute Mountain Ute, Zuni, Kaibab Paiute, and Pueblo of Zuni — have formed the Grand Staircase-Escalante Tribal Coalition to safeguard the monument’s cultural and natural resources. The coalition aims to ensure Indigenous voices guide land management in this sacred area.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
