WASHINGTON Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke lost his manners during a visit to Bears Ears National Monument on Monday after being repeatedly questioned about why he hasnt spent more time talking with tribal leaders as part of his national monuments review.
Zinke was apparently irked by the persistence of Cassandra Begay , a tribal liaison with the group Peaceful Advocates for Native Dialogue & Organizing Support . She was following the secretary as he greeted those gathered at Bears Ears, a 1.35 million-acre area in southeastern Utah that is one of 27 monuments threatened by President Donald Trump s recent executive orders .
When are you going to meet with the tribal leaders? she asks. Its kind of unfair that youve only met with them for one hour, sir. Is there a reason why youre not listening to them more?
After being twice ignored, Begay presses Zinke again. He turns around and walks up to the much-shorter Begay. Holding up his finger, Zinke forcefully says, Be. Nice.
Im so nice, Begay replies.
Be nice, Zinke says again. Dont be rude. Thank you.
The video cuts off as Begay begins to fire back.

After a few moments the Secretary quickly turned towards Begay, jabbed his finger in her direction and stated, Be nice, dont be rude.\n\nBegay recorded the brief confrontation with her camera.\nIn response Begay states, I was scared, and my heart was racing. It felt condescending and unnecessarily aggressive. I have no idea why asking a simple question to somebody who is on a listening tour would react so aggressively. #ProtectBearsEars
