“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

@@trueshields5689 so that means we should have a genocide of native people, who’s land we decide is free for the taking… then protect it as a National park for its beauty & human history of thousands of years along with all the artifacts… then elect a developer & tv show New Yorker with no class or respect towards anything other than what he cares about… to take away the protected land status of a National Monument all out of spite, hatred, greed, development, and mining!

Beautiful. Beautiful people. Thank you Pres. Biden and Secretary Deb Haaland for restoring Bears Ears as a National Monument in Oct. 2021. Vandals are everywhere, starting in Salt Lake City.
The Navajo are not the indigenous people. They came shortly before the Spanish. The Anazazi and the Peublo are the true ancestral people. I am from this area and there is no doubt that it is one of the greatest places on the planet. However, to illustrate the real issue is that the original boundaries of federally seized land can be compared to declaring Central Park a national monument and then taking all of Manhattan Island and the entire state of Delaware, calling it the Central Park Monument. The Issue is not about whether there should be a National Monument. It is the sheer size that the Federal Government is seizing from a state that already has 67% of its land owned by the Federal Government. The land Initially sized was 2,120 Square Miles. It was sensibly reduced to 315 square miles. This newly defined area still contains the actual Bears Ears and everything around it. The area is still 1/3 of some Eastern States. To go beyond the 315 square miles is a massive land grab by the Federal Government pure and simple. The National Park will only make the situation worse because of the Tourism that will come to this area.
Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat'l Mon north of Silver City NM protects several pueblos. The actual size of the monument protected grounds is quite small. Most of the area surrounding the monument is either Gila NF or the GIla Wilderness. The protection, keeping in mind what has been done with other Nat'l Monuments, certainly makes sense. However, was 1.3 million acres the right way to do it?
Having this vast acreage designated as a National Monument does not protect it. Tourism has been promoted as the economic salvation of San Juan County, when in fact, it is the worst thing that could happen, both for these cultural sites, and for local economy. The smaller size as designated in Dec. 2017, is more manageable, but still a problem for the federal governments which is 21 Trillion dollars in debt!
Jonah and others in this video complain about restrictions on wood, etc. Monument status, and increased enforcement will only bring more of what they are complaining about. The Maryboys speak out of both sides of their mouth. I don't trust a word they say...
It is continuously being said on public news broadcasting stations now, that all Native Americans or "mostly all" oppose the release of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and the Bear Ears National Monument lands. This is not true for the majority of Amerindian peoples in Utah and no one has ever done a percentage pole on this subject among Utah Amerindian Nations. To say "all" Utah Amerindian Nations all oppose this land situation would be like saying all Amerindian Nations were all on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary War. The Delaware (My Ancestors) were with the 13 Colonies and Six Nations were partly with the British during the American Revolutionary War and partly with the 13 Colonies and this similar division is with us today among Amerindian peoples, only on a different scale and situation. Since when do people want to be cut-off from spiritual and ancestral areas, food sources, firewood for heating homes with no public utilities, etc.? When I hear a generality like, "They all oppose reversing" the land grabs and the banishment from using the land, this I can believe only as the harm-intended political lie it is. In a meetings I had with the Mayan peoples in Guatemala, (many years past) I expressed my feelings with them that the EPA were not at all concerned with the well being, health or prosperity of Amerindian peoples, but only value them as a political tool to influence their agenda for their own acquisition and control of valuable resources. After all these years they now mostly concur with this sad reality and see I told them the truth. Sincerely, Robert
Yes. The Mayan Masewal now call mining "war". Megaprojects are coming up against organized indigenous opposition in the highlands. The promises of wealth, development, and progress made by engineers, government officials, and corporations’ PR teams are systematically rejected by Mayan opposition organizations on the grounds of the insuperable argument that what this myriad of investors ultimately want is their land and water. (Alessandro Questa, anthropologist) The Navajo, the Hopi and others can certainly empathize with the Mayans based on their own histories. Bears Ears National Monument was conceptualized by representatives of five Native American nations, who negotiated, planned and hammered out the proposal over the course of several years. It is certain that they represented a significant portion of their tribes in this development of a plan for the monument.
The belief that the Navajos arrived in the Southwest as much as 800-1000 years ago is DEFINITELY still a minority opinion in anthropology. 600 years ago is more likely.
There is artwork dated beyond 4000 years old with some beyond 8000 years old in almost all of this area, whether they were called Navajos or Barrier Canyon or Fremont or Ute or anything else doesn't change the fact that native American's have occupied these lands for many thousands of years. You pulled 600 years out of your ass!
You don’t know where Navajo Nation is and you do not deserve to use the U.S. Marines logo as your photo your a disgrace to our country, Navajo Code Talkers helped saved our country in the U.S. Marines uniform.

@@Vandetours I'm just saying Roosevelt was a shitbag, calm down
Native people are the guardians of the sacred places.
Protect all of our sacred sites!
Great work, lovely documentary

Thank you!
Gorgeous work, thanks so much for sharing!
Visited Bears Ears, most amazing place I've seen in the United States.
Such a beautiful area.
How could this not be a saved area? I needs to be.
Preservation is necessary.
Support public lands. Join a Union, support a Union.

For one to go thumbs down on this video . . . Are either plain ignorant, or way misunderstood. . or both
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes. The land should be protected. However I respectfully disagree. The land doesn't belong to humans. We belong to the earth.
