Episode 3: Acadia

A podcast on the truth about the creation of U.S. National Parks, retold by Indigenous voices.

Parks is about the Indigenous people who lived, hunted, and created communities on U.S. public lands, living reciprocally with nature for centuries before settler-colonists arrived. It’s about the racism, violence, and lies perpetrated by colonizers and the federal government as they dispossessed land from Native people not long ago.

On this podcast, you'll hear Indigenous perspectives on what’s happening to the land now, and what they hope for tomorrow.

Parks asks you to take a new look at our beloved natural spaces — including their conflicted pasts and their uncertain futures.
