Description
Despite our announcement at the beginning of this episode, you can listen to our next episode on 3/10.
In 2020, even the most outdoorsy among us developed a newfound appreciation for wide open spaces, as we sought out safe ways to explore while social distancing. But as more than 237 million visitors took to national parks, and even more took to trails, lakes, and rivers closer to home, certain questions were raised once again: How much do we know about the history of the land we're recreating on and who lived there? And how are we respecting those stories and the modern realities of Indigenous communities?
This week, we're joined by Jaylyn Gough, founder of Native Womens Wilderness (NWW), an online platform that connects Native women and two-spirits to the outdoors. We cover a lot in this episode, including how Jaylyn's childhood relationship with nature developed on the Navajo reservation, the outdoor industry's responsibility to change the narrative around land rights, how NWW has pivoted to aid Indigenous communities acutely affected by COVID-19, and the potential confirmation of Representative Deb Haaland as interior secretary.
