周一，唐纳德·特朗普总统签署行政令，大幅缩减犹他州两处国家纪念地的面积。
该命令涉及大阶梯-埃斯卡兰特国家纪念地和熊耳国家纪念地，将其总覆盖面积从300万英亩缩减至30万英亩，缩减幅度约90%。这两处纪念地分别由比尔·克林顿总统在1996年和巴拉克·奥巴马总统在2016年设立为联邦纪念地。
“老实说，他们从人民手中夺走了这片土地，”特朗普在周一的签署仪式上说道，“我们正在把它还给人民。”
犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯也出席了签署仪式，并称赞了这一举措，称纪念地最初的规模过于庞大。

“我们认为，根据《古迹法》，相关规定非常明确：纪念地的划定应当以保护古迹所需的最小面积为限，而这些面积比特拉华州还大的数百万英亩纪念地显然不符合这一标准，”他说道。
然而，当地原住民团体批评了这一举措，因为两处纪念地都包含与他们历史相关的遗迹，包括悬崖村落和岩画。

“从纳瓦霍人的视角来看，熊耳不仅仅是一块联邦公共土地，”达维娜·史密斯-伊杰萨说道，她是纳瓦霍族公民，同时也是熊耳跨部落联盟的联合主席。“这是一处鲜活的文化圣地，承载着我们的历史、仪式、传统食物与药物，以及祖先的足迹。”
国家纪念地的保护范围也覆盖周边景观，禁止钻探、采矿和建设活动。这两处纪念地最初的划定范围包含大量煤炭和铀矿矿床。

President Donald Trump signed an executive order drastically shrinking the size of two national monument areas in Utah on Monday.
The order applies to the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments, shrinking their total coverage by roughly 90% from 3 million acres to 300,000. The areas were established as federal monuments by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and Barack Obama in 2016, respectively.
“They took the land from the people quite honestly,” Trump said during the Monday signing ceremony. “We’re giving it back.”
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox also attended the signing and praised the move, saying the original size of the monuments was far too expansive.

“We believe that under the Antiquities Act, it’s very clear that these monument designations are supposed to be the smallest area possible to protect the antiquities, and these multimillion-acre monuments that are bigger than the state of Delaware certainly do not fit that designation,” he said.
Local Native American groups have criticized the move, however, as both monument areas contain parts of their history, including cliffside villages and petroglyphs.

“From a Navajo perspective, Bears Ears is not simply a piece of federal public land,” said Davina Smith-Idjesa, a citizen of the Navajo Nation and co-chair of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition. “This is a living cultural site that holds our histories, our ceremonies, our traditional foods and medicines and our ancestors’ footprints.”
Protections for national monuments apply to the surrounding landscape as well, preventing drilling, mining and construction. The original designations for the two monuments contained large deposits of coal and uranium.
