Episode 1: Yellowstone

Yellowstone was the first U.S. National Park, established in 1872. But before Yellowstone was established, Indigenous tribes like Shoshone, Blackfoot, and Crow were living on the land for thousands of years. These are stories of their lives before, the lies and dispossession it took to create the park, and the attempted genocide that followed.This episode also takes a look at those communities now, the issues that have followed them for decades following their dispossession, and how their culture lives on.

Om Podcasten

A podcast on the truth about the creation of U.S. National Parks, retold by Indigenous voices. Parks is about the Indigenous people who lived, hunted, and created communities on U.S. public lands, living reciprocally with nature for centuries before settler-colonists arrived. It’s about the racism, violence, and lies perpetrated by colonizers and the federal government as they dispossessed land from Native people not long ago. On this podcast, you'll hear Indigenous perspectives on what’s happening to the land now, and what they hope for tomorrow. Parks asks you to take a new look at our beloved natural spaces — including their conflicted pasts and their uncertain futures.
