In his recent essay in The Atlantic, Obijwe tribal member David Treuer proposes returning ownership of America’s national parks to descendants of the Indigenous peoples who inhabited those lands prior to the arrival of white Europeans in North America.
If ever there was a scary-brilliant idea, Treuer’s is it.
Treuer’s proposal is scary because change is, well, scary.
His idea is brilliant because it offers a simple, straightforward way to honor America’s original stewards by returning the most magnificent and iconic portions of the American landscape to their descendants.

Treuer proposes turning over ownership of national park lands to modern tribes while leaving oversight of the parks by the National Park Service unchanged. “For Native Americans,” he writes, “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.”

When the state of Colorado ordered its residents to shelter in place in response to the spread of coronavirus, writers Pam Houston and Amy Irvine—who had never met—began a correspondence based on their shared devotion to the rugged, windswept mountains that surround their homes, one on either side of the Continental Divide.
As the numbers of infected and dead rose and the nation split dangerously over the crisis, Houston and Irvine found their letters to one another as necessary as breath. Torrey House Press has collected those letters and the result is a new book. “Air Mail: Letters of Politics, Pandemics, and Place” is part tribute to wilderness, and part indictment against tyranny and greed, and reveals the evolution of a friendship that galvanizes as it chronicles a strange new world.
