"Today, the foundational myth of America’s National Parks revolves
around the heroic preservation of “pristine wilderness,” places
supposedly devoid of human inhabitants that were saved in an unaltered
state for future generations. This is obviously a falsehood: Places like
Yosemite were already home to thriving communities that had long
cherished—and changed—the environment around them."

Via Muse, who wrote "Beautiful peoples. Sad stories."
