Grizzly bears are sacred, but endangered, their numbers are low, they live on just 2% of their original homelands and they are still losing natural habitat to humans. Yet the government and states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are pushing to delist them, and to allow trophy hunting. By law the government must consult with the tribes under the Native American Religious Freedom Act before they can c
onsider delisting, but they have not done so. Neither are they acting on the 'best available science' as they say. Instead they are cooking the numbers; changing the way they count grizzlies in order to get the numbers they want, and creating new reports that contradict the important facts collated over decades through studies. Guardians of Our Ancestors’ Legacy (GOAL), is a TRIBAL COALITION committed to reconnecting tribal people to the ancestral landscape that is Yellowstone, reclaiming that heritage, and preserving the grizzly bear – the most powerful symbol of spiritual regeneration and renewal. This page is a gathering place for people who want to support the bears and speak against the unthinkable; that sacred grizzly bears could be trophy hunted to oblivion. Please note: We will not accommodate those who support delisting on this page - this is a place for the voice of the grizzly to be heard. Hunters/killers have plenty of other platforms to say their piece.
