Learn about the ongoing battle to protect the sacred sites of Native Americans at Bears Ears
date & time
Location
This work was made possible with support from the Butler Conservation Fund and the Manitou Fund; and at Alabama Civil Rights Sites with support from Jack Shear, the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, and the Friends of Heritage Preservation. We are also grateful to our partners for these projects, Friends of Cedar Mesa and the Alabama African-American Civil Rights Heritage Sites Consortium (AAACRHSC).
The issue of underrepresented heritage in the United States has been at the center of recent public debates. From the battle to protect the sacred sites of Indigenous tribes within the Bears Ears National Monument to efforts to integrate the conservation of homes, churches, and community centers into a larger strategy to preserve pivotal locations in the civil rights movement, navigate the complex built history of the U.S. and learn about WMF’s work to amplify voices that have traditionally gone unheard.
