Navajo Didn’t Support Shrinking Bears Ears
Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke claimed the Navajo people who “live close” to Bears Ears National Monument “were all in support” of President Donald Trump’s decision to shrink the protected land. But tribe representatives told us that’s false.
In fact, the Navajo Nation and other indigenous tribes have sued the federal government over the president’s decision.
National monuments “are areas reserved by the National Government because they contain objects of historic, prehistoric, or scientific interest,” the National Park Service.
