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.

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...

The Frontier Couple Who Chose Death Over Life Apart

Eric Bealer arrived in Sitka for the last time in a boat weighed down with his art. It was late March 2018. Bealer, an Alaskan artist who specialized in intricately detailed wood engravings , had just traveled for two days from his homestead on Lisianski Inlet, through the rough winter waters off the western edges of Chichagof and Baranof Islands, to the relative shelter of Sitka Sound. His skiff, built by hand using materials harvested and salvaged from Alaska’s coast, was jam-packed with his work: old prints, new prints, even the ink-stained, delicately carved wooden blocks used to make the prints themselves. There was so much art filling the little boat that, during his overnight layover en route to Sitka, Bealer had no room to lie down. He slept onshore, on the ground. Eugene Solovyov met him on the dock in Sitka’s Crescent Harbor. Solovyov, owner of the Sitka Rose Gallery, had known Bealer for more than two decades, ever since the artist walked in one day in the mid-199...
