Designated in 2016 by President Obama and reduced to 85 percent of
its original size one year later by President Trump, Bears Ears
National Monument continues to be a flash point of conflict between
ranchers, miners, environmental groups, states' rights advocates,
and Native American activists. In this volume, Andrew Gulliford
synthesizes 11,000 years of the region's history to illuminate
what's truly at stake in this conflict and distills this geography
as a place of refuge and resistance for Native Americans who seek
to preserve their ancestral homes, and for the descendants of
Mormon families who arrived by wagon train in 1880. Gulliford's
engaging narrative explains prehistoric Pueblo villages and cliff
dwellings, Navajo and Ute history, impacts of the Atomic Age,
uranium mining, and the pothunting and looting of Native graves
that inspired the passage of the Antiquities Act over a century
ago. The book describes how the national monument came about and
its deep significance to five native tribes. Bears Ears National
Monument is a bellwether for public land issues in the American
West. Its recognition will be a relevant topic for years to come.
