Yellowstone Trip
- David Treuer's son, while visiting Yellowstone, exclaimed, "Nature's trippin', balls, man!"
- This reaction, though unusual for him, highlighted the park's awe-inspiring features.
Displacement for Parks
- National parks, though celebrated, often involved removing Native Americans from their ancestral lands.
- This displacement is often overlooked in the traditional narrative of parks as pristine wilderness.
Parks Built on Native Land
- Many national parks were created on land already inhabited by Native Americans, displacing them from their homes.
- Treuer argues this history is often ignored, perpetuating a myth of untouched wilderness.
