As Yellowstone National Park Turns 150, Indigenous Voices Take Center Stage

On March 1, Yellowstone, the world’s first national park, turns 150, and the park has decided to put Indigenous voices front and center as it plans a year of historic and cultural events. The move is part of a larger effort by the National Park Service and the American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association , announced in October, to facilitate a “regular, robust, and meaningful” dialogue between associated Indigenous groups and the Park Service. “We’ve not always gotten the story right here in Yellowstone,” said superintendent Cam Sholly on a recent press call, “and so we are focused on really making sure we’re telling these stories right as stewards of these parks. We want to do better, together.” For over 11,000 years, at least 27 Indigenous groups —among them the Crow, Shoshone, Blackfeet, Bannock, and Nez Perce—have called this area of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho home, a history that was deliberately covered up when Yellowstone first became a national park in 1872.

Why Elite Athletes Are Getting Serious About Mental Coaching

When his athletes describe the ways that stress has impacted their performance, clinical psychologist Justin Ross likes to tell them: “Welcome to having a mind.” Ross specializes in mental performance coaching, a growing discipline aimed at helping athletes strengthen their competitive minds just like their bodies. “This stuff is pervasive,” Ross says, from the amateur level all the way up to the elite echelons of sport. “The majority of things we may be struggling with are deeply human.” Athletes and coaches have long known that a sharp mental game can be the deciding factor in competition, and mental techniques like visualization and self-talk are often part of their preparation. But in recent years, there’s been an uptick in awareness of formal mental skills training designed to develop and hone those techniques, as well as in the number of experts entering the field. In 2018, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) certified 29 new mental coaches; in 2021, the number ...

Everything Our Editors Loved in January

Outside editors started out the year strong. We tested out some healthy habits , stubbornly stuck by a few bad ones , published five new long reads , and looked back at the best disaster movies of all time . Outside of work, we kept up with some of the best new films, read poetry inspired by nature, contemplated our acoustic environment, and learned a few new skills to take into 2023. Here is everything our editors loved in January. What We Watched The Banshees of Inisherin Drawn in by an adorable donkey, the Irish brogue, and the verdant landscape of the Emerald Isle, I watched The Banshees of Inisherin , which has been nominated for nine Academy Awards this year, including best film. The premise, as you may have heard, is that one of two longtime friends—a musician named Colm (played by Brendan Gleeson)—decides he no longer wants to have anything to do with his neighbor Padraic (Colin Farrell, whose expressive eyebrows may likely secure him the best-actor win). Colm threatens t...
