Can a national park help heal the wounds of forced removal?
In short: Tracie Revis discusses a proposal to transform the Ocmulgee Mounds into Georgia's inaugural national park and preserve, a move that would return management authority to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
The Ocmulgee Mounds site contains over 17,000 years of human history. Revis argues that co-managing this land with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation would restore a tribal voice to a region from which they were forcibly displaced two centuries ago. This initiative seeks to balance cultural preservation with the personal and communal healing that comes from reconnecting with ancestral lands.
