"First Nation activists came to testify at the Utah State Capitol against HJR1, legislation that will exclude Utah from the Antiquities Act. The Antiquities Act was intended to allow the President of the United States to set aside certain natural areas for ""the protection of objects of historic and scientific interest"" for their preservation. Utah would join Wyoming and Alaska as the only states requiring congressional consent to create national monuments. Monday, February 26, 2018."
