Bears Ears InterTribal Coalition

The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition is a non-profit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Comprised of five Tribes—the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe, and Pueblo of Zuni—the Coalition is a collaborative body focused on the protection and preservation of a significant cultural and natural landscape. The Coalition's primary focus is the collaborative management of the Bears Ears National Monument. This involves working with various stakeholders to ensure the responsible stewardship of the monument's sacred, spiritual, historical, natural, scientific, and cultural resources. The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition was instrumental in the successful campaign for the establishment of the Bears Ears National Monument and continues to play a vital role in its ongoing protection. The organization's dedication to preserving the cultural and ecological integrity of the Bears Ears landscape sets it apart as a key player in Indigenous-led conservation efforts.
