Trump stood in the Oval Office, and gutted 3 million acres of sacred land. He framed it as giving the land back to the people. Which people? Not the Ute, Ute Mountain Ute, Zuni, Hopi, or Navajo, whose members say they were never informed of or asked about the decision. The federal government has a trust and treaty duty to consult tribal nations. That duty was simply ignored. The Antiquities Act, the 1906 law Trump leaned on, was signed by Roosevelt, a Republican. It lets presidents create monuments. It does not clearly authorize them to abolish or gut monuments their predecessors made.
