On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we’ll discuss the rich cultural and historical significance of Bears Ears National Monument to Native Tribes.

Five tribes have sued, saying the administration has violated the Antiquities Act and doesn’t have the authorityto alter a National Monument. What should be done to protect and preserve public lands?
