P-22: How tribes want to honor the famous mountain lion
In a city known for celebrities, a mountain lion’s improbable, decade-long occupation of America’s largest urban park in Los Angeles earned him a status any movie star would envy.
P-22 was euthanized after wildlife officials determined his injuries and illnesses made it impossible for him to continue living in the wild without significant suffering. Now, area tribes say they want a say in what happens to the famous lion’s remains.
Thursday on Native America Calling, we’ll look back on the life of P-22 and get an overview of how some tribes view mountain lions.
