This is Bears Ears

Description

This is Bears Ears is more than a place on a map. It is living story, layered with sandstone, ceremony, science, and the daily work of care. Our interactive film invites you to step inside that story. You move through canyons and mesas, listen to Tribal voices, and feel what is at stake when a National Monument needs defenders who will pay attention, speak clearly, and act with respect. This experience is not a passive watch. It is a guided path that blends film, maps, archival records, and first person accounts. Each scene opens a door to learn, then offers a way to help right away. The This is Bears Ears project sits inside Patagonia Explore with a simple promise.
