Hi, Sam, I read your post and I really enjoyed it. It was very informative on land that was before owned by Natives. Natives describe to other people that our land we live on today was their ancestor’s land and belonged to them. I think that it is a good idea that Biden and his administration give back to the Natives that they longed for. It will give the natives a voice in managing their land and hold them dear to them. The two most important things to them are their land and the spiritual significance of past loves ones that passed on.

I thought this article was a great summation of the amazing work that BHA does to help protect public lands. It reminds me of NGOs such as the sierra club and other environmentalist groups. Protecting public lands from private interests is something that I hope we can all agree on, as we all want to protect and enshrine the amazing beauty of our land.

That is so interesting. I have also been thinking about this topic. It doesn’t make sense to either that these states receive so much power in the senate despite representing such a small portion of the US citizens. I have always thought the house’s framework of representatives based on population was much more democratic than the senate. What in your opinion is a feasible solution? I hope you make another post about this topic.
