The monument's original size was 1,351,849 acres (547,074 ha), which was controversially reduced 85% by President Donald Trump on December 4, 2017 . The monument protects the public land surrounding the Bears Ears--a pair of buttes--and the Indian Creek corridor rock climbing area . The Native American names for the buttes have the same meaning in each of the languages represented in the region . The names are listed in the presidential proclamation as "Hoon'Naqvut, Shash Jáa (sic), Kwiyagatu Nukavachi, Ansh An Lashokdiwe"--all four mean "Bears Ears". </P> <P> The area within the monument is largely undeveloped and contains a wide array of historic, cultural and natural resources . The monument is co-managed by the Bureau of Land Management and United States Forest Service (through the Manti - La Sal National Forest), along with a coalition of five local Native American tribes; the Navajo Nation, Hopi, Ute Mountain Ute, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, and the Pueblo of Zuni, all of which have ancestral ties to the region . </P>
