In the final episode of Short Wave's Summer Road Trip series exploring the science happening in national parks and public lands, Aaron talks to National Park Service Director Charles Sams, who recently issued new policy guidance to strengthen the ways the park service collaborates with American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes, the Native Hawaiian Community, and other indigenous peoples. It's part of a push across the federal government to increase the level of tribal co-stewardship over public lands. Aaron talks with Sams, the first Tribal citizen to head the agency, about how he hopes this will change the way parks are managed, how the parks are already incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and what national parkland meant to him growing up as a member of the Cayuse and Walla Walla tribes on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in eastern Oregon.

Texas's energy grid is largely disconnected from the rest of the U.S. That led to disastrous consequences last year when the state's grid was overloaded during a winter storm. Back in the 1970s, one company attempted to change the system in a secret, middle-of-the-night operation.

More on those stories in this podcast presented by Audrey Brown.

Angela Stent, Director of Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian, Russian & East European Studies and author of Putin's World: Russia Against The West And With The Rest analyzes Russia’s military losses and Putin’s strategic reactions.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Why One Chicago Woman Is Showing Youth A Whole New World
Chicagoan Crystal Dyer wanted to help the young people in her Austin community be exposed to the beauty of the wide world. A travel agent herself, she knew what getting out of your environment and exploring the world could do to your perspective.
So she began a program to do just that: connect at-risk youth—many of whom may have never been on a plane before, or owned a passport — with different countries, cultures and people.
Reset talks to Dyer about why she chooses travel to connect with youth

Consider This from NPR - An Unfinished Recovery From Hurricane Maria Left Puerto Rico Vulnerable to Fiona
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has allocated billions of dollars to Puerto Rico to help it rebuild from Hurricane Maria with more resilient infrastructure. Five years after the storm, only a tiny fraction of it has been spent, and Hurricane Fiona has again left much of the island in the dark.
NPR's Adrian Florido explains how Fiona has left some Puerto Ricans feeling like their recovery has gone "back to zero."
Sergio Marxuach, with The Center for a New Economy, a Puerto Rican think tank, explains why the island's power grid is so fragile, despite dedicated federal funding to improve it.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
