Articles
David Treuer (The Atlantic): Return the National Parks to the Tribes. “Turner was almost right. It wasn’t the frontier that made us as much as the land itself, land that has always been Native land but that has also come to be American. The national parks are the closest thing America has to sacred lands, and like the frontier of old, they can help forge our democracy anew. More than just America’s “best idea,” the parks are the best of America, the jewels of its landscape. It’s time they were returned to America’s original peoples.“
Laura Bies (The Wildlife Society): Bison reintroduction considered in Montana refuge. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering reintroducing bison to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge in central Montana, beginning with consulting with tribes and other stakeholders about the topic this summer.“
