My High Country News cover story about the Bears Ears national monument proposal has finally entered the inter-tubes. For those of you who prefer reading these long stories in a physical form, the print edition will come out in a couple of weeks. It ended up being an exploration of the complicated and sometimes fuzzy notion of home as much as anything else. I hope it sheds some light on this contentious debate.
