Lani Anpo: The Erasure of Native American & Jewish Identity, and the Indijewnous Response


Listen Later

Today, IndiJewnous activist Lani Anpo joins Jay on the show. Lani is an influential advocate for global Indigenous and Jewish communities. A multi tribal Native American Jew, Lani passionately champions the rights and stories of marginalized groups with a focus on protecting Indigenous sovereignty, promoting self-determination, and preserving history and culture.


Jay and Lani unpack the centuries-old playbook of “othering” and expose how its tactics are being revived and weaponized today. They confront how the history of Native American erasure is used to invalidate Jewish connection to ancestral land, and why this dangerous pattern poses a direct threat to Indigenous rights globally.
