Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, to honor the first peoples of this land, celebrate their culture, and tell the real story behind America’s Best Idea. It’s a story of connection and resilience.

First, we’ll hear a historical critique of the establishment of the NPS, including the painful reality of tribal displacement and the legacy of settler colonialism. Then, our Indigenous guests share their personal definitions of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Join us for a powerful celebration of Native cultures—their resilience, survival, and continued resistance against erasure.

On October 3rd we did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit and Instagram. Now, in case you missed it, here’s some of your questions and the answers we had for you!

Some of our rangers have been around for a hot minute, and they wanted to share a couple of stories for all of us going through it for the first time.

Contains some swearing. We’re a little fed up.
