The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition's own website is maintained jointly by the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe and Pueblo of Zuni, the five sovereign nations that hold the Bears Ears landscape as part of their homelands. Its authority is that of a joint statement issued by those nations in their own name about their own country and its significance to them, not an independent archaeological or historical study. Cite it for what those five nations say about Bears Ears and their relationship to it, which is exactly the kind of claim a tradition's own account is the right source for; an outside historical or legal account of the same landscape needs its own separate source.
