Prospectors move in after Trump opened Bears Ears land

Original: After Trump opened Bears Ears land to business, prospectors swooped in

Following the Trump administration's decision to open Bears Ears National Monument land in Utah to business activity, prospectors have moved in to stake claims and explore the area. The move follows the 2017 shrinking of the monument, which critics say exposed sacred Native American sites and public lands to mining and commercial exploitation.

Why now: The reversal of federal protections for Bears Ears remains a flashpoint in debates over public lands and indigenous rights.
