Summary

"The deep sandstone canyons, desert mesas, and ancient cliff dwellings of Bears Ears area hold pottery and projectile points, baskets and petroglyphs - and countless stories. For more than twelve thousand years, the wondrous landscape of southeastern Utah has defined the histories, cultures, and lives of everyone who calls it home. In Behind the Bears Ears, R. E. Burrillo takes readers on a personal journey of discovery through the narratives and controversies that make this place so unique, from traces of its earliest inhabitants through its role in shaping the study of Southwest archaeology itself - and into the modern battle over its protection." -- Back cover
