Exploring the complex history of national parks, the narrative reveals how many iconic landscapes were acquired through coercive means rather than voluntary donation. The book delves into the often-overlooked stories of Indigenous peoples who faced pressure, manipulation, or force in the transfer of their lands, challenging the romanticized notion of "gifted land." It highlights the tension between public welfare and the rights of original inhabitants, providing a critical perspective on the creation of these natural treasures.
