This article is about the impatience that the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition is developing due to the fact that the U.S. Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, has continued to avoid attending a meeting with them in the matter on managing the national monument. The author’s diction is biased and their tone has a hint of an emotional connection to what they're writing about for once. Unlike almost every other article I have read, the author doesn't qualify the argument. They are siding with the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and provides contradicting and racially insensitive statements from Ryan Zinke and his spokesperson. Ryan Zinke himself said that he was “going to ride a horse, like Teddy Roosevelt, and see the land and talk to the Navajo and the nations of tribes,” during one of the conferences. What’s surprising is that he never planned on going to the conferences in the first place, not even informing the people who work for him about it, “An Interior Department spokesperson said she did not know whether Zinke planned to meet with the inter-tribal coalition.” The author only brings up statements like these against the U.S. Interior Department, showing a bias towards the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and how they deserve to have a say in “the 1.3 million acres that are protected with the monument designation contains 100,000 archaeological and cultural sites.” The purpose of this article was to show how racially and culturally insensitive the people who run our country can be and how unfair Native Americans are still being treated to this day.
