My name is Jonah Yellowman.

Welcome to Home of the Brave.

I'm Scott Carrier.

And we're here in Mindmit Valley at my home residence.

In the evening, you know, when the colors are changing on the sunset,

it's really nice looking out there looking at the sunset it's

really beautiful nobody listens to the Indians.

It doesn't matter what they say. Their world doesn't exist anymore.

Or that's the way natives are treated

when it comes to deciding how to manage federal land, public land in the Western United

States, the land they used to live on for hundreds, thousands of years.

Before my people were removed from Bears' ears,

my people used to live through there.

And my grandmother is from there, you know. She's born from there.

The battle over public land is between two sides.

The environmentalists and the commercial developers

and the

natives are used as ponds by both sides.

Us, you know, as a Native American Navajos, we use that land

to make a whole gun, to use firewood, to use herbs, to gather medicines, to gather

food, to go hunt. We have the four sacred mountains here. We have the four directions here.

We have a protection right here. Mayor's ears.
