Many of them aspire to be good civic institutions that care for animals on their grounds and in the wild. But is it really worth their captivity?

The Brood X Cicadas Are Emerging on the East Coast. What Are They Telling Us?

Listen Closely to the Cicadas. They’re Telling Us Something. Periodical cicadas were born out of crisis. Now we’ve created a crisis they may not survive. Illustration by Valerie Chiang They went to ground as John Kerry was “reporting for duty” at the Democratic National Convention, deftly avoiding the release of Princess Diaries 2 a few weeks later. They’ve missed the launch of Twitter, the birth of the gig economy, and Brexit. Now, after 17 years sipping tree roots in the soils of North America’s deciduous forests, billions of cicadas are reemerging into a world dramatically altered by the coronavirus. Fortunately, unlike the last plague that forced people indoors, almost as soon as these (harmless) cicadas swarm, they’ll be gone. But their scheduled debut will serve as a spectacular reminder of the perils and possibilities of transformation.

Introducing 'Who Owns America's Wilderness?'

For the cover, Treuer writes that while some Native Americans, like himself, remain near the parks, and are of the parks, the land is not theirs. “We live in a time of historical reconsideration, as more and more people recognize that the sins of the past still haunt the present,” he writes. “For Native Americans, there can be no better remedy for the theft of land than land. And for us, no lands are as spiritually significant as the national parks. They should be returned to us. Indians should tend—and protect and preserve—these favored gardens again.” Ultimately, he argues, all 85 million acres of national-park sites should be turned over to a consortium of federally recognized tribes in the United States. “The total acreage would not quite make up for the General Allotment Act, which robbed us of 90 million acres, but it would ensure that we have unfettered access to our tribal homelands. And it would restore dignity that was rightfully ours. To be entrusted with the stewardship of America’s most precious landscapes would be a deeply meaningful form of restitution.”

"Return the National Parks to the Tribes" — For The Atlantic's May issue, David Treuer makes a forceful moral case that the jewels of America's landscape should belong to America's original peoples.
