"Bears Ears is a living landscape,"

Haaland said.

"When I've been there,

I've felt the warmth and joy of ancestors

who have cared for this special place

since time immemorial."

The rugged desert terrain in Southeast Utah

is filled with towering red rock formations,

significant Native American archeological sites,

sprawling fields of sage-colored scrub brush,

and of course its namesake,

the Bears Ears buttes.
