Looks like several people aren't familiar with how institutionally #NationalParks are and have been so very short history lesson to follow

And yes, people of color still find ways to enjoy the outdoors. Proof:https://twitter.com/aurabogado/status/620665585932742656 …

But our approach is often different, since the ways we've been and continue to be treated are different at
#NationalParks. -
@aurabogado Discussed this on 2014#WAoutdoors task force I cochaired, asked for strategies.@jonbsnyder now@GovInslee policy advisor. -
I imagine people of color are involved, too?
@barbchamberlain -
@aurabogado@jonbsnyder just started a couple of months ago, getting to know people across all sectors of outdoor rec. Huge job. -
@aurabogado Have talked w/@jonbsnyder about a statewide outdoor rec conference; could be great place to bring ppl together, get work going. -
Please do let me know if/when that happens. I'd probably attend.

@aurabogado Indeed. But let’s also give credit. e.g., the@NatlParkService-managed Manzanar Historical Park https://www.nps.gov/manz/index.htm -
I'm sure you mean well with this but this feels pretty derailing,
@jasonbrush -
@aurabogado but, if you’re ever in the eastern sierra, you should really check out manzanar — it’s like a truth & reconciliation commission -
So... I've hiked there from Owens Lake. Where I was asked if I spoke English by a ranger.
@jasonbrush -
@aurabogado wow. that’s disappointing.#blindedbywhiteprivledge
