Give Bears Ears To Native Americans

As part of his review of national monuments, Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke met with the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition. The coalition’s message was articulated earlier by the Ute Tribe’s business committee: “The monument was designated in response to government-to-government discussions that honored the trust relationship between the federal government and Indian Country. Any proposed changes can only be done through full tribal consultation that respects our sovereignty and the authority of the tribes to manage the monument.”

After an hour-long meeting with Zinke, however, Navajo tribal member Davis Filfred said, “We got the impression he [Zinke] had already made up his mind,” meaning that Zinke will likely recommend rescinding, resizing or modifying the national monument as instructed by Trump’s executive order.

If tribes are going to get more say in protecting sacred sites, they will have to have a greater role than consultation. President Obama promised to consult tribes in the management of Bears Ears, but consultation does not mean authority. As the Utah congressional delegation explained in January, “The Obama administration claims it has elevated tribes to have a guiding role in the management of Bears Ears. In reality, it has created a Native American commission that can be ignored without consequence.”

I'm back, bitches!

Tumblr was my #1 social media app for the longest time, but I've basically ignored it for the past few years. I got older and grumpier and got tired of dealing with all the stress, because it got surprisingly catty there for a while. But then I got even older and even grumpier and realized that I can tailor everything on here, and that means I can cut out anything that makes me anxious. So, on that note, I've remembered why I loved Tumblr once, and I'm back in business.

Ring of Æthelwulf, Anglo-Saxon, AD 828-858

Gold nielloed mitre-shaped ring, decorated with peacocks, crosses, rosettes, foliage and a tree. Found in a cart rut in Laverstock, Wiltshire, England.

Æthelwulf was the King of Wessex (r. AD 836-858) and was the father of Alfred the Great. The ring, a particularly ambitious piece, was not the king’s personal ring, but was presumably given as a gift or as a mark of royal office. Its fine Trewhiddle-style ornament would certainly fit a mid ninth-century date.

This is great, because I love this show more than anything, my husband’s name is actually Riley, and this is the kind of bet I would lose...
