BYU Charles Redd Center for Western Studies - Writing Westward Podcast
Host and Producer Brenden W. Rensink , Associate Director of the Redd Center, Associate Professor of History at BYU, and General Editor of the Intermountain Histories project interviews Rebecca Robinson and Stephen Strom about their books: Voices from Bears Ears: Seeking Common Ground on Sacred Land and Bears Ears: Views from a Sacred Land.
“The media failed to capture the diversity of local opinion and the complexity of the various party’s views. Very few took the time to listen and instead drove dialogue where opposing sides largely talked past one another.
Rebecca Robinson and Stephen Strom have done us a great service by publishing their two volumes. They listened with empathy and allowed their subjects to express their views.
There is value in understanding people on their own terms.”
