EXPERIENCING A beautiful outdoor space is a surefire way to be convinced of its value and need for protection. Sometimes, as a responsible outdoors person, it’s more important to leave that magical space alone. The sacredness of ancestral lands to Native Americans is far more important than our desire to use it for recreation or exploit it for profit, especially when that land, or anywhere else, isn’t ours to begin with. Native American tribes occupy, operate, and live on vast stretches of open land across the United States. They revere their beautiful land. And if we choose to visit, it’s on us to not climb, hike, or float on restricted areas that look oh so tempting — because protecting their hallowed spaces is far more important than experiencing what is epic.
