Seven children died in the first year of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School's operation. Another 220 died over the school's next 38 years. They are among the more than 3,100 students a year-long Washington Post investigation finds died while separated from their families in Indian Boarding Schools. Their tally is three times that of the recent investigation by the U.S. Department of Interior. Many of the deaths are attributed to illness, accidents, or neglect. Others have no official explanation or remain suspicious. We'll discuss the Post's investigation and why having an accurate accounting is important.

When UNC Chapel Hill student Faith Hedgepeth is murdered in her off campus apartment, the UNC community is shocked -- especially since it's been just four short years since their student body president, Eve Carson, was also murdered near her off campus home. But in 2024, Faith's alleged killer remains in jail nearly three years after his arrest. In this episode, we take a deep dive into Faith's story and speak with Faith's father, Roland Hedgepeth, about why he believes Faith's case remains open. You can follow the show @floodlightspod.

19-year-old Faith Hedgepeth, a proud member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, was born and raised in North Carolina alongside her mother and three siblings - her parents having separated shortly after Faith's birth in 1992. At high school, Faith was a well-liked and intelligent student who studied hard to achieve her life-long goal of being the first member of her family to graduate university. She was an honor student and subsequently received the Gates Millennium scholarship, made specifically to help ethnic minorities in the US afford their studies. Faith then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and hoped to become a teacher or paediatrician following graduation. During her studies, Faith lived in an apartment with Karena 'Rosie' Rosario, her friend since freshman year, and Rosie's boyfriend, Eriq Takoy Jones. Rosie and Eriq's relationship was turbulent and plagued by domestic violence. After a time, Rosie decided to end the relationship following advice given to her by Faith, and the pair went to get a protective order. Eriq became threatened by the influence Faith had over his relationship with Rosie, but despite this, he tried numerous times to reconcile with Rosario - though not in legal ways, attempting to break into their apartment at least twice. Tensions were high between the girls and Jones, which led many to believe that he was responsible for the horrific events of September 6th and September 7th 2012. That night, Faith attended an event set up by the Alpha Pi Omega sorority in the hopes to join the Native American sorority, but after some time, Faith and Rosie went to the university library to work on some papers before returning to their apartment to change and headed out to a local club. Rosie took unwell and the girls left in the early hours of September 7th, returning to the apartment complex around 3am. Between 3:40 and 4:25, a number of texts were send from Faith's phone and Rosie's, to Rosario's ex and a friend. The friend picked Rosie up from the apartment around 4:25, she herself believing Faith to be asleep, she left the door unlocked. Rosario stayed the night at her friends before trying to contact Faith to give her a lift home, but she didn't answer. Upon Rosie's arrival alongside another acquaintance at approximately 11am, they found Faith's lifeless body under a quilt on her bed, partially nude and covered in blood. They immediately contacted police. Many suspected Eriq of killing Faith following the pair being at constant loggerheads, but after analysing the DNA found at the scene, it did not belong to him. If you feel that you need support regarding any of the issues presented in this episode, please contact your local crisis centre.

Faith was a young Haliwa-Saponi woman with a bright future ahead of her as a student at UNC Chapel Hill. On September 7, 2012, everything would change. Faith was found murdered in her apartment. Who would want to hurt Faith and why has there still been no justice for her all these years later when there was so much DNA left at the scene? This is The Red Justice Project.

When a college junior and aspiring pediatrician is beaten to death in her own bed, the bright future of a beloved young woman and active member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribal community is instantly destroyed.

Full of Riches takes listeners into the world of Seagrove, N.C. where TAPS students are taught the region’s celebrated pottery tradition by master artist and N.C. Heritage Award recipient Sid Luck. The North Carolina Arts Council created TAPS, a statewide network of after school programs, in response to community requests for traditional arts education taught locally, knee-to-knee, and across generations. TAPS is an intergenerational story. It's a story about community and pride in place. It’s a story about the role the N.C. Arts Council plays in helping North Carolinians use their artistic traditions to thrive as individuals and as communities. From pottery to bluegrass to the arts and crafts of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, TAPS programs across the state represent the diversity of North Carolina’s cultural life and heritage. Each program is uniquely shaped by the community, but all share three core values: Programs are affordable, and often free. Students learn the traditional arts of their own region, from teachers within their community. Music is taught by ear, and crafts are taught by hand. Through field recordings and interviews collected by N.C. Arts Council staff, this episode is the first of three in a new season of Arts Across NC that highlights the diverse TAPS programs across the state. This episode featured field recordings from Haliwa-Saponi TAPS class and Pow wows.
