About this listen
Over 300 million years ago, the beautiful buttes of Bears Ears formed on the Colorado Plateau in what would one day become known as the Four Corners, which is where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. The first humans in this area—the Clovis people—appeared 13,000 years ago. Since then, the Bears Ears region has been home to many important Indigenous groups, including the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Zuni Tribe, and Ute Indian Tribe. After centuries of their land being mistreated and vandalized, these five tribes came together and asked the United States government to protect the land of Bears Ears by making it a national monument. In 2016, their vision became a reality when President Barack Obama established Bears Ears National Monument, protecting 1.3 million acres of sacred land. Young adventurers, junior geologists, and future archaeologists will love this incredible book about the rich history of this special American landscape.
