Hi Robbie,

Thanks for all the info, and i knew some of that already. Help me out on this: Wouldn't Trump's action today make alot of land at Bears Ears National Monument to now be available for oil and gas drilling? Same question about Grand Staircase Escalante Monument? Some of those areas are rich in Native American Artifacts.

To Trumps credit, he is supposed to allow for co-management of these areas for Tribes. I doubt this will happen or be fair, but I'll give him benefit of the doubt for now. But if this is true, then why the Navajos threatening to sue Trump? And why wasn't the decision made without consulting the Navajos? And why are so many others announcing they will sue as well?

Of course I'm no expert. From my HippyLiberal (and proud) view though, I see this as something that didn't need to be done. I'm also really bothered by the fact that some of that beautiful landscape could be be one day ruined forever by mining outfits, oil and gas companies, etc.

Peace!
