Part II: Stewards of the Land: Native American Women in America’s Public Land
The part II of this project has explored the history of our public land through the eyes of American Indian women and how they continue to play a significant role as the stewards of the land to protect our parks’ natural and cultural resources today. I visited parks such as Olympic in Washington, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, Badlands National Park in South Dakota and Alcatraz Island in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California. Read the blog and learn the true history of our parks from the Native American women's perspective and how these women have changed me to make a difference in the world.-
