Statement by the President on the Designation of Bears Ears National Monument and Gold Butte National Monument by tsomanader Today, I am designating two new national monuments in the desert landscapes of southeastern Utah and southern Nevada to protect some of our country’s most important cultural treasures, including abundant rock art, archeological sites, and lands considered sacred by Native American tribes. Today’s actions will help protect this cultural legacy and will ensure that future generations are able to enjoy and appreciate these scenic and historic landscapes. Importantly, today I have also established a Bears Ears Commission to ensure that tribal expertise and traditional knowledge help inform the management of the Bears Ears National Monument and help us to best care for its remarkable national treasures. www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/12/28/statement-president-designation-bears-ears-national-monument-and-gold
