Grand Canyon
Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai, and many other native tribes have been living in and around the Grand Canyon since time immemorial. For most of their lives, the threat of uranium mining or Disneyland-like tourist attractions were absent…until now.
On this episode, we hear from three Native women who have spent their life in and around The Grand Canyon, about their knowledge of this land, their work to protect it today, and what they hope for its future.
Acadia
This episode focuses on the Wabanaki land that is now known as Acadia National Park.
Parks guests Darren Ranco and Suzanne Greenlaw help us learn about the history of colonization around today’s parklands and how it affects the environment. They also discuss the contemporary efforts to increase tribes’ access to harvesting sweetgrass within the borders of the park and how decolonizing research is helping in that fight.
Parks is not for profit. To help us tell these stories, donations are appreciated.
