BLM and the Forest Service signed an unprecedented cooperative agreement with five Tribes to give them more control over the day-to-day management of Bears Ears National Monument. The agreement requires the agencies to “meaningfully engage with” tribes “to inform the BLM and USFS planning process and management.” The Tribes are the Hopi Tribe, the Navajo Nation, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, and the Pueblo of Zuni.
