Summary

Amber and Ed are rejoined by Lakota Sioux comedian Jana Schmieding to talk more from the Indigenous peoples perspective. In PT 2 we discuss the different tools of colonization that tribes endure: food deserts, no sovereignty for the reservations, and lack of native representation in media. Persevering through the systematic oppression there is still a brighter side, the indigenous people thrive; tribal languages are reincarnated and they rebuild their traditions. Taking us out this week is Marty Stuart - So You Want To Be An Indian Love eachother because we are all Tiyóspaye.

Is that correct?

1:08.4

You know, it's good to say the right thing. I will say it's not wrong to say Native Americans, but a lot of Native people don't say the American part. The thing is you're not Americans. Yeah.
