Like many of you, as Indigenous people and allies, we are feeling unsettled, uncertain, and concerned about the future of the United States and the world under another Trump administration. We know what he has promised to do, and we are worried about our families, our loved ones, and our communities of human and other-than-human kin. What will the impact of another four years under his administration be for those living in the U.S., for those affected by our powerful foreign policy influence, and for Mother Earth?

Respectful Greetings, 

2024 has been the hottest year in recorded history, surpassing 1.5 degrees, and causing devastating  physical and spiritual losses and damages in our homelands. States have failed to take necessary  action to phase out fossil fuels and implement a Just Transition to sustainable, non-carbon-based  energy sources.

Press release from the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity.

Podcasts provide an invaluable medium for sharing stories, culture, and knowledge, making them especially beneficial for celebrating Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month. Indigenous media platforms provide spaces for Native voices to be heard, allowing individuals to share their unique experiences, traditions, and perspectives that might be overlooked in mainstream media. By listening to Indigenous-led podcasts, audiences gain insights into the histories and contemporary issues Indigenous communities face, generating understanding and empathy.
