Today we break from our format to introduce you to our partners from Native Coffee Traders on the Poospatuck Reservation in New York. Harry Wallace, the elected chief of the Unkechaug people, founded Native Coffee Traders in 1994. The company is now run by his niece and head roaster Amy Wallace. Harry and Amy joined Max in the studio to discuss issues facing native people today, the importance of economic development and sovereignty, and why their coffee is so fucking delicious.

0:00.0 | Hey unfuckers, it's Max. |
0:04.9 | So we have a very special drop today. |
0:07.1 | You know that this is completely out of format for us, but there's, as you'll learn, a reason for it. |
0:12.1 | We wanted to introduce our coffee partners from native coffee traders from the Puspatuck |
0:17.0 | Reservation. |
0:18.2 | We didn't want to introduce it in a way that was sort of ham-handed. |
0:21.5 | You know, we've gotten so many incredible notifications and we've gotten so much |
0:26.2 | incredible feedback from unfuckers who have purchased our native roasted coffee saying, |
0:32.2 | this is exceptional coffee. I didn't believe you at first. I was just trying to support the |
0:36.6 | show, but now I'm tasting this |
0:38.2 | coffee and oh my God, this coffee is unbelievable. So yes, it is amazing coffee. But more than that |
0:45.0 | is the rationale behind why we partnered with this group in particular. You'll come to learn that |

1:17.8 | I want to introduce you all to Amy Wallace, who is the head roaster at Native Coffee Traders. |
1:24.8 | She's a magical person. We're going to, and I'm going to talk a little bit about |
1:27.9 | what it's like to watch Amy work. But Amy, first of all, welcome to the show. Thank you for having |
1:32.1 | me today. And the man she calls uncle, because it's her uncle, Harry Wallace, who is once again, |
1:40.1 | the leader, the elected chief of the Uncachog people on Pusputak |
