In a post before yours, I addressed this very issue. I guess you weren't paying attention. However, the inter-tribal council for the Hopi, Zuni, Navaho, and Ute tribes have all endorsed this monument. Twenty-six Indian tribes have endorsed it as well. Your very article makes these points. Did you read your own article?
Its fringe groups that oppose the Monument designation. Just as we have a presidential election and 5% of voters voted for Gary Johnson and 2% of voters, voted for Jill Stein there will never be absolute unanimity about anything. What is the truth is that vast majority of Indians in the area support the Bears Ears Monument or else the inter-tribal council would not have endorsed it.
Gary Herbert and Utah politicians are finding a few outliers and claiming they speak for the Indian people when they know this is false.
