Welcome to Forum.

I'm Alexis Madrigal.

Because the Bay Area has produced so many legendary figures during the ferment of the 1960s and 70s, we often talk with an older generation of leaders in the broader multicultural landscape. Julian Brave Noisket, though, is the next generation, a kid who grew up in the very institutions that the leaders

of the 1970s built, learning the traditions they carved and embodied from the histories of

their communities. For example, he became a champion powwow dancer learning in Oakland and

traveling the National Circuit. But he's also spent a life dealing with the fallout and trauma

of that earlier generation's

drive for freedom, especially through his father, the artist Ed, Archie Nois Cat.

Hard to be a child of a legendary figure sometimes.

Noise Cat's new book is We Survive the Night, and he joins us this morning.

Welcome.
