Safe Travels Pod

We're back among the redwoods! This time, we're at the mouth of the Smith River at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Northern California. We were very lucky to be joined by the Chairperson of Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, Jeri Lynn Thompson.

Jeri and I chatted about Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation and their history, their relationship with the National Park Service today, the cultural significance of the redwood tree and much more. 

Chairperson Jeri Lynn Thompson is incredible. The story of the Tolowa Dee-ni' people is beyond special. 

I hope you love this episode! The history of the ancestral tribes adds so much context to what you're seeing when you visit each of our National Parks.
