By Bill Keshlear Here are a few thousand words that attempt to penetrate the fog. The first link goes to an article I wrote and the Canyon Country Zephyr published just after Kenneth Maryboy won last year's San Juan County Democratic primary for county commissioner. And the second link goes to a story I wrote after Maryboy and Willie Grayeyes were sworn in as commissioners in January. The Zephyr also published a version of it. Plus, a handy, dandy infographic (click on it to see a larger version) published in the June 2018 Zephyr , before the primary. http://www.canyoncountryzephyr.com/2018/08/01/whose-county-is-this-anyway-bears-ears-activist-wins-squeaker-for-sjco-commissioner-district-3-what-now-by-bill-keshlear/ https://medium.com/@Jackdog3/whos-the-boss-in-utah-s-bears-ears-country-e86ccc4986ee?source=friends_link&sk=f2d5420b33257cd4a50e0ab2b0afa3b2
It's as if a train were rumbling through spectacular wildlands, destroying everything in its path – a dark vision embraced through time by indigenous spiritual leaders. Aboard the train are rich and influential newcomers who ravage an ancient way of life and the ecosystem every living thing depends on. They not only enjoy the ride, they stoke the engine for profit and tell us it’s a good thing. They call it "progress."
