In this episode, we chat with human rights advocate, singer, storyteller, and University of Minnesota-Twin Cities American Studies doctoral student Wakinyan LaPointe. Wakinyan, a Sicangu (Burnt Thigh) Lakota citizen of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, focuses his studies on Indigenous rights, human rights, and youth organizing. He describes how his work with Indigenous young people, Indigenous people across the globe, and water scholars has informed his understanding of how to generate a sustainable future. One strategy he shares is the deepening of Indigenous youth's relationship with their ancestral waterways, which has shown to improve water and land health. For Wakinyan, having his parents share stories and cultural traditions with him during his childhood – spent in Washington, California, and the Rosebud reservation before landing in Minneapolis – was foundational to his understanding of self and the world. Today, Wakinyan uses these teachings and those embedded within the songs he sings to reclaim his time from the “weeds of academia” and establish a healthy grounding to his days.  Tune in for an engaging conversation with one of today's most vibrant, Indigenous artist scholars!

DeShawn Davis is a young environmentalist exploring traditional O'odham Jewedga (O'odham lands) in Southern Arizona. He currently works as a Next Generation Ranger at Saguaro National Park and is also an involved participant in the Eco Truths for Indigenous Youth. His passion for science-based programs and work experiences have provided him with the knowledge and the tools to excel in the STEM world. He also embraces his deep cultural connections and access to ancestral lands. The critical role we have as Native/Indigenous people to protect sacred sights, nature, animals, etc. is important especially when working in the National Park Service; to educate and share historical facts, and cultural perspectives, and update the narrative that local tribes are more than just a chapter in history books, but that we are still here evolving and thriving while still holding on to our cultural inheritance.Recorded: January 2024Background music by: Guustavv “Barranca” and Bomull “älv”For more information about Deshawn's involvement, check out these articles and interviews!Next-generation ranger camphttps://www.nps.gov/sagu/getinvolved/next-generation-ranger-corps.htmEco Truths for Indigenous Youthhttps://ironwoodtreeexperience.org/community/projects/ecotruths-for-indigenous-youth-2/

Sexual violence is often used as a weapon of war. Unfortunately, claims of sexual violence are also used to declare victimhood in the face of legitimate allegations of war crimes, as is the case with Israel. As more and more details emerge from Israel's flimsy reports from October 7th, the issue of mass rape is a glaring example of how those perpetuating genocide weaponize rape claims in order to deflect from their own war crimes, some of which include sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners.  Meanwhile here at home, kids are living in abject poverty while forces like the NYPD get $29 million A DAY (you read that right), and cop cities are popping up in almost every state to protect the failing empire from its own demise.  PLUS the FBI targets Indigenous youth, and plastic waste colonialism means poor countries are drowning in blame and plastice as rich countries ship away problems and claim green futures.

Riley Yesno has explored the many facets of Indigenous resurgence throughout most of her life, and has been advocating for “reconciliation” since she was 15 years old. Her time on the Prime Minister's Youth council was troubling  – proudly hailing herself as a “shit disturber” – but that time still inspired her interest in native politics. Today she's working on her PhD, studying Indigenous youth and reconciliation and hosts the podcast, REDsurgence.
