Today on the news - President Joe Biden signed proclamations last week to officially restore Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. After their restoration, Indigenous advocates in our region are hoping to keep up the momentum for other sacred sites in need of protection. And, a provocative new art show exploring what American democracy means for Indigenous people is open in Montrose, Colorado.
