On this month’s podcast we have Dorothy FireCloud, J.D. Ms. FireCloud is the National Park Service’s Native American Affairs Liaison, Assistant to the Director in the Washington DC office, and a member of the Sicangu Lakota [Rosebud Sioux Tribe]. Ms. FireCloud describes her career ladder in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service leading to where she is today. She gives her perspective on continuing the Lakota role of caretaker in her previous positions as Acting Deputy Forest Supervisor at Black Hills National Forest and Superintendent at Devils Tower National Monument. We also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted tribal consultations, what she would like to accomplish in her current position, and paths people can take if they are interested in federal careers. We end out the interview with a few stories about how the National Park Service has improved when it comes to making Indigenous guests feel welcome and how that only takes two simple words: Welcome Home.
