Bears Ears National Monument

(

The Bears Ears are a pair of distinctive buttes in Southeastern Utah held sacred by a number of Native American tribes, now protected as a National Monument.

• ... that the newly proclaimed Bears Ears National Monument in southeastern Utah protects 100,000 archaeological sites, including Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings more than 3,500 years old? Source: The area contains an estimated 100,000 archaeological sites, including ancient Pueblo cliff dwellings that are more than 3,500 years old.
  • ALT1:... that the new Bears Ears National Monument in southeastern Utah will become the first national monument to be co-managed by five Native American tribes which hold the mountains and surrounding land to be sacred? Source: The Navajo Nation is one of five tribes that will get an elected official on a first-of-its-kind tribal commission for the Bears Ears monument. The panel will provide federal land managers with tribal expertise and historical knowledge about the area, federal officials said.

Looks almost good to go! Article created on December 29 and nominated a day later. Article looks good, properly sourced throughout. Nominator has no previous DYK credits. No copyvios detected, all false positives due to quotes and names. Alt1 looks good to go, and the source confirms the fact. Alt2 is almost there, but I am unsure if the tribal commission as described in the source is the same as "co-managing" the national monument, as claimed in the hook. Perhaps Alt2 needs to be re-worded?

However, I will fully support this nomination if Alt-1 is chosen. --haha169 (talk) 08:44, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I would like to rephrase my earlier review as it seems I have confused the alt versions. In summary: Original; ALT 1 --haha169 (talk) 09:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
