\"Sh\u00e1sh<\/p>\n

Sh\u00e1sh Jaa\u2019 (Bears Ears) encompasses 1.9 million acres of southeastern Utah wilderness and is considered sacred lands to local Native American tribes. The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition is an effort of 5 different tribal nations (Navajo, Ute, Ute Mountain Ute, Hopi, Zuni) coming together to protect this pristine ecological area from natural resource extraction development and environmental destruction. This documentary follows Angelo Baca and his grandmother, the director, and the developing Coalition\u2019s efforts on the way to convince the Obama administration to make this area a designated National Monument with a collaborative management plan working in partnership with these tribes.<\/p>\n

Join Angelo Baca (Navajo and Hopi) in his screening of Sh\u00e1sh Jaa\u2019 (Bears Ears) and a discussion of current Indigenous land struggles concerning land, water, and natural resources.<\/p>\n
