The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society invites the public to a presentation in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies and on Zoom on Wednesday, February 8th at 7:00 pm. At 6:30 we will have social time, then after a brief business meeting, FLC Professor, Dr. Andy Gulliford, will discuss his new book, "Bears Ears: Landscape of Refuge and Resistance". For log-in information, go to SJBAS.ORG.

Gulliford's engaging narrative explains prehistoric Pueblo villages and cliff dwellings, Navajo and Ute history, impacts of the Atomic Age, uranium mining, and the pothunting and looting of Native graves that inspired the passage of the Antiquities Act over a century ago. The book describes how the national monument came about and its deep significance to five native tribes.
