Okay… this isn’t a diss track against National Parks. I’m pretty sure I’ve thoroughly enjoyed 100% of the minutes I’ve spent on our public lands.
But- truly loving a place also means owning up to the injustices that shaped them and figuring out how to right past wrongs. Pretty much every line on a map is an opportunity to do just that, and our National Parks are no exception.
Zion, Yosemite, Glacier, etc. are wonderful, but they raise big questions about who we consider human, how we define nature, and how the two are interrelated.
