US National Park Service establishes co-management agreements with Indigenous tribes, appoints Native American director, and hires first Tohono O'odham ranger.
The US National Park Service (NPS) is working to improve relations with Indigenous peoples, establishing around 80 co-management agreements with tribes like the Tohono O'odham. This includes appointing a Native American as the NPS director and hiring Raeshaun Ramon, the first Tohono O'odham ranger at Saguaro National Park in Arizona. These efforts aim to address the historical mistreatment of Native Americans by the park service and restore dignity to Indigenous communities.
