An elected official with the Métis Nation—Saskatchewan was caught on tape leaving a series of profanity-laced voicemail messages. APTN National News obtained the recordings from the sister of the man who says he left them on her phone. We begin this week's podcast by listening to one of those messages and unpacking what it means for accountability and leadership.

We also look at how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting Native Americans south of the Medicine Line and the growing concern this is raising in Indigenous communities.

Joining the discussion are Jennifer Laewetz of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair with the Winnipeg Free Press.
