A new series! The conspiracy that Devils Tower National Monument is an ancient tree stump. The second theory claims that Finland and Australia aren't real.
On this month's podcast we have Dorothy FireCloud, J.D. Ms. FireCloud is the National Park Service's Native American Affairs Liaison, Assistant to the Director in the Washington DC office, and a member of the Sicangu Lakota [Rosebud Sioux Tribe]. Ms. FireCloud describes her career ladder in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service leading to where she is today. She gives her perspective on continuing the Lakota role of caretaker in her previous positions as Acting Deputy Forest Supervisor at Black Hills National Forest and Superintendent at Devils Tower National Monument. We also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted tribal consultations, what she would like to accomplish in her current position, and paths people can take if they are interested in federal careers. We end out the interview with a few stories about how the National Park Service has improved when it comes to making Indigenous guests feel welcome and how that only takes two simple words: Welcome Home.

In the wilderness of Wyoming, there's a magnificent pillar of ancient lava so unique, that even geologists are at odds on exactly how it was formed.
Rising high above the prairies west of the Blackhills stands a tower of astounding geological feature. Considered sacred by indigenous people, it's an impressive and striking monument against the flatlands of Northeastern Wyoming. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest climbing areas in North America, and for decades this remarkable wonder has drawn daredevils and thrill seekers alike, all hoping to stand atop the tower's flat summit. One person, though, took a very different approach, one that hasn't been attempted since. On this episode of America's National Parks Podcast, the man who spent six days trapped atop Devils Tower National Monument and the attempt to bring hm back to Earth.
Travel writer Eva Eldridge discusses her visit to Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. Roch in Native American history and of geological interest, Devils Tower is America's first National Monument, thanks to the efforts of President Theodore Roosevelt. Read Eva's article on her experience, here: http://nationalparktraveling.com/listing/monolithic-devils-tower-national-monument/
President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower National Monument on September 24, 1906. President Roosevelt also used it to create the Grand Canyon National Monument – the first step in protecting that place of great historic and scientific interest. Five Native American tribes announced plans to file a lawsuit challenging his pair of proclamations to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments.A coalition of five tribes — Hopi, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute, Pueblo of Zuni and Ute Indian — claim Trump has no legal authority to shrink the Bears Ears designation.Ethel Branch, attorney general for the Navajo Nation, called Trump's proclamation "a tremendous affront to tribal sovereignty," and said he "overstepped his authority" to do it."Any action by the administration to erase or permanently damage these national monuments is not only illegal but also an insult to the owners of this land — the American people — and will be challenged by the Wilderness Society in court".
