The country’s largest tribal national park has been authorized and is now in the early stages of development. The Ioway Tribal National park will sit on 564 acres along the Missouri River on the border of Nebraska and Kansas.  

The Traveler’s Lynn Riddick spoke with a tribe member who is on the front lines in the development of the park. He shared his thoughts about the park, how it will help the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska… and the history it will honor.
