Dear Director Stone-Manning,

Thank you for your proposal to manage the Bears Ears National Monument in full partnership with the Tribes who have been stewarding these lands since time immemorial. These lands are home to a diverse array of wildlife, important cultural artifacts, sacred Indigenous sites, and immense opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The lands, waters, and resources of the Monument deserve to be sustainably managed. Incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledges (TEK) into the management plan is critical to protect the biodiversity and health of the Monument for generations to come.

The Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service must ensure that Alternative E, the preferred alternative, becomes the final resource management plan for the Bears Ears National Monument. Alternative E represents a sustainable and collaborative land and resource management that:

- Upholds the sovereignty of the Tribes and honors Indigenous peoples’ personal, traditional, and cultural connections to land.

- Reflects time-tested best practices for land management passed down over centuries from the original, and ongoing, stewards of this land.

- Protects habitat, wildlife, and resource biodiversity

-Responsibly manages access and use of the Monument in a way that allows current and future visitors to recreate, hunt, and fish, while also responding to the needs and health of the land.

Thank you for considering my comment on the Bears Ears National Monument resource management plan.

Sincerely,
