"An important new collection of Native American writers essaying the cultural significance of Utah's Bears Ears landscape..."
--THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

In support of tribal efforts to protect the Bears Ears, Native writers bear testimony to the fragile and essential nature of this sacred landscape in America's remote red rock country. Through poem and essay, these often-ignored voices explore the ways many native people derive tradition, sustenance, and cultural history from the Bears Ears.
