Just discovered Lillian and crew fantastic FIELD TRIP presented by WaPo on ITunes podcast today. Wow... Lillian's reporting is an amazing approach to learning about our precious National Parks and the sad but true history of their acquisition. But what is so great to hear is the progress of a new inclusive sustainability and protection management approach, Native American wisdom and contribution to the management of their ancient ancestral lands which are these lands within the Parks. Other things learned which is so amazing, the appointments of the perfect leaders reflects the wisdom and inclusive foresight the Biden Administration has given to the appointment of Secretary Deb Haaland and Director Chuck Sam who bring deep wisdom and unite Native Peoples to participate and contribute to preservation, protection and love of our park lands.
