On this episode of the Indian Relay Podcast, hosts Ivan Posey and Al Hubbard welcome Randy Nagitsy from the Office of Indian Education at Fort Washakie School for a conversation about the return and rebuilding of Five Buffalo Days — Manigit Bojandave.

Randy shares how the week-long event came together through months of planning, collaboration, and community support, including partnerships with the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, MMIR 307, school staff, cultural presenters, students, families, and tribal leaders. The discussion covers the buffalo harvest, the MMIW/MMIP walk, powwow, fashion show, fry bread contest, classroom learning, Shoshone and Northern Arapaho cultural presence, and the importance of giving students memories and teachings they can carry forward.

At its heart, this episode is about responsibility, collaboration, cultural learning, and the good medicine that comes when students, families, educators, and community members show up for one another.

In this episode of Indian Relay Podcast, host Ivan Posey is joined by special guest Tyler Schwab, founder and president of Libertas International, for a powerful conversation about human trafficking, exploitation, and the ties between trafficking and Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.

Tyler shares how his work began after witnessing the reality of child trafficking in the Dominican Republic, and how that experience led him into more than a decade of prevention, rescue, aftercare, and advocacy across the world. The discussion explores how poverty, technology, online exploitation, AI-generated abuse material, and systemic gaps can place children, women, and vulnerable communities at risk.

The conversation also focuses on Wyoming and tribal communities, including the importance of trust, cultural understanding, jurisdictional challenges, and survivor-centered support. Tyler speaks candidly about the need to listen first, build relationships, and empower Native communities rather than impose outside solutions.

Through difficult stories and moments of hope, this episode reminds listeners that while the scale of trafficking can feel overwhelming, helping even one person reclaim safety, dignity, and a future matters.

In the latest episode of the Indian Relay Podcast, hosts Ivan Posey and Al Hubbard sit down with Krystal C’Bearing, Director of the Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO), and Donald Littleshield, NAGPRA Coordinator, for an in-depth conversation about reclaiming the past and protecting the future.

Krystal and Donald walk listeners through the complex and often emotional work of cultural preservation — from consulting on federal and private land projects across 17 states, to navigating Section 106, to repatriating ancestral remains and sacred items under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

Through their stories, Krystal and Donald remind us that cultural preservation isn’t about relics of the past — it’s about living identity, ongoing ceremony, and a responsibility to future generations.
