We’re working every day to ensure that the perspectives of Native people are heard and taken into account when decisions are being made on the local, state, and federal levels. That’s why the recent announcement from Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is so important.
It’s time to re-Indigenize national parks 🏞️ the response to our call for Chuck Sams — who is the first Native to serve as National Park Service Director — show how important weaving our traditional knowledge into these lands is to so many people.

“The time is always right to do what is right.”
