But there are supporters. One of them is the president of the San Juan County, Utah Chamber of Commerce Bill Boyle, and he's here to talk about it why he's in favor of what President Trump is doing with the monuments designation.

For that take, we have Matt Campbell, a staff attorney Native American Rights Fund, which represents three of five tribes affected by Bears Ears decisions: the Hopi, Pueblo Zuni and Ute Mountain Ute.
