Welcome to Roon Soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the paranormal.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week we are speaking with Marcus Martafero Lloyd.

Marcus is a speaker, activist, digital evangelist, and member of the Nāa Adeki Kaiputahi tribe.

We chat about indigenous sovereignty in the modern world. and member of the Nāaāari Kāputāi tribe.

We chat about indigenous sovereignty in the modern world, his experiences at Standing Rock, and his

journey to reconstruct the ancient parsight of his ancestors.

Quick note before we begin, I caught Marcus between meetings,

which went as well as you would expect.
