UN seeks to end Indigenous displacement by conservation efforts
Credit: "Mariposa Indian Encampment, Yosemite Valley, California," by Albert Bierstadt, c. 1872. Native Americans living in Yosemite Valley were initially allowed to remain in the park after its creation in 1872, working as laborers and selling goods to tourists. But in the 20th Century, park officials slowly pushed them out of the valley and destroyed their homes. (forum.netfotograf.com/Wikimedia)
