Description: Ojibwe author and historian David Treuer argues in The Atlantic that we should return national parks to Native Americans. Treuer, who wrote the book The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America From 1890 to the Present, says that he “would like, when people look up at vistas, like at Yosemite or at Yellowstone, that they’d look up as a way to look back at the history of this country.” The national-park system has been touted as “America’s best idea,” and in this episode of The Experiment, Treuer posits that we can make that idea even better.
