  Bonus Episode: Bruneau Dunes, Craters of the Moon, & John Day Fossil Beds

  Jun 4, 202622 minS0

  <p>In April, my family flew to Salt Lake City to pick up a campervan we bought and road-tripped home. We stopped in Bruneau Dunes State Park in Idaho, Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve also in Idaho, and John Day Fossil Bed National Monument.</p><p>It was a quick but lovely trip, and I recorded reflections each night of our trip to share about our experience and what we learned. Visiting the less grandiose-seeming public lands (state parks and national monuments), I realized how much I miss just by looking to visit national parks. </p><p>Bruneau...

  Ep. 9 - Visual Storytelling as a Connection to the Land

  May 28, 202635 minS0

  <p>When I heard Steph Littlebird on OPB in March, I wanted to talk with her immediately—not only does she exude vibrancy, she’s so succinct and clear-eyed about why we must have a relationship with the land. And then I saw her book, and I had to reach out. As you will hear shortly on our episode, Steph is an absolute delight! She’s an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde and brings her Indigenous background and connection to the land of the Pacific Northwest to her visual storytelling through both her artwork and writin...

  Ep. 8 - Writing National Park Fiction with Aaron Johnson

  May 21, 202638 minS0

  <p>I discovered the National Park Mystery Series a little over a year ago when a friend recommended it. Quickly, the series became my son and my nightly read-together books that got us through many months. We both became attached to the characters, middle schoolers, Jake, Amber, and Wes, and felt incredibly invested in their adventures. Deep into the series and this research, I knew I had to have the series author, Aaron Johnson on the podcast.</p><p>The series takes the three main characters through ten national parks on a two-month vacation with their families. Truly a trip...

  Ep. 7 - U.S. Fire Management & the NPS with Stephen Pyne & Tom Nichols

  May 14, 202657 minS0

  <p>In the Charm of the Wilderness book project, I’m using the natural elements to shape the narrative. That theme guides each park or trip. The first of all of those was a trip to Yosemite National Park I took last year that centered on fire. </p><p>The two guys I interview this week played a big role in understanding the landscape of fire and fire management in the United States and the National Park Service and I’m excited for you two get to hear from them.</p><p>Stephen Pyne is emeritus professor from Arizona State Univ...

  Ep. 6 - Montana's Indian Education for All with Mike Jetty

  May 7, 202644 minS0

  <p>In 1972, the state of Montana imposed a constitutional mandate that required all K-12 schools in the state to teach “the distinct and unique cultural heritage of the American Indians” and committed to “its educational goals to the preservation of their cultural integrity.” This was a landmark step as Montana became the only state to require Native education as a part of its curriculum. With Montana being home to eight federally recognized American Indian tribes and about 78,000 American Indian individuals, this was an incredible step to take. Yet it took years to actually implement it effectively, though.</p><p>After decades...
