Twenty-nine Native American tribes have ancestral ties to the land currently within Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. For millennia numerous peoples of the southwest, the mountains, and the southern plains passed through this valley as they sought food and trade goods, forged alliances, and fought battles. All have strong cultural affiliations with the sand dunes and the surrounding valley. These tribes still maintain a deep connection to this place and our park rangers consult with them regularly to better understand and communicate about the resources the park protects. To learn more about individual affiliated tribes, you can find each tribe’s website at https://www.nps.gov/grsa/learn/historyculture/affiliated-tribes-of-great-sand-dunes.htm.

Flock has been in use in Durango since 2023. The cameras capture images of each passing car: its licence plate number, make, model, color, and even bumper stickers and dents. AI then catalogs all this information, and it becomes a searchable database for officers.

Last summer, the DPD also bought a mobile trailer with a Flock camera. It’s currently at Schneider Park along the river trail, near a highway intersection. The mobile trailer was also present during the No Kings Protest in October.

“It feels so sinister, and simultaneously so impressive that Flock has built a national network of surveillance effectively without virtually anyone knowing,” said Anaya Robinson, the Public Policy Director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado.
