In the end, the Indian tribes control fifty million acres and the National Park Service (NPS) retains eighty million acres. Ironically, both the NPS lands and the tribal lands under the Bureau of Indian Affairs are supervised by the same division of the federal government: the Department of the Interior. . . .
