Every time pale skin is burned on the plains of America it’s a reminder that land is not to be stolen but to be earned. Earned through thousands of years of love and sweat, thickening the skin to the suns abrasive rays. Nature fighting back in her own passive way.

Join us in calling on President Biden to approve the first-ever national monument management plan informed by Tribal Nations. The plan, known as Alternative E, supports Indigenous stewardship and responsible recreation in Bears Ears National Monument.

Sometimes (often) I feel like most people/orgs treat their Land Acknowledgments like the quick slapping of a "pre-owned!" sticker on a nice car.

Some people argue that land acknowledgments are “gestures of respect.” I’m not sure one can show respect while also being indifferent to a people’s existence. The statements are a counterfeit version of respect. Teen Vogue put it well, if unintentionally: “Land acknowledgment is an easy way to show honor and respect to the indigenous people.” A great deal of nonsense about identity politics could be avoided by studying this line, and realizing that respect shown the “easy way” is just as cheap as it sounds. Real respect occurs only when accompanied by time, work, or something else of value. Learning basic facts about a particular tribe might be a start.
