Feds order interpretive signs in Glacier, Little Bighorn, changed or removed
The orders follow an executive order President Donald Trump issued last year on “restoring truth and sanity to American history.”Members of the Trump administration have ordered National Park Service staff change or remove signs and exhibits at two NPS locations in Montana due to their focus on climate change and settlers’ treatment of Native Americans.
According to the Washington Post, which first reported on the latest orders on Tuesday, those orders went out to 17 NPS sites across the country, including Glacier National Park and Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana.
The orders follow an executive order President Donald Trump issued last year on “restoring truth and sanity to American history," The Daily Montanan reports.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum subsequently issued an order directing all agencies in the department to identify any changes on federal land since 2020 with documented reasoning and encouraging public participation in the process. Soon after, the U.S. Department of the Interior put up signs asking the public to submit feedback on any signs that “are negative about either past or living Americans, or fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur and abundance of landscapes and other natural features.”
