In this episode, a bunch of good Indians talk about "The Only Good Indians", a novel by Stephen Graham Jones (not to be mistaken with the Wes Studi flick, "The Only Good Indian").

And if you love Erin and her insights, follow her at:

And remember, whether you're a good Indian, bad Indian or somewhere in between (or maybe a little bit of each), don't just keep it real, keep it

In this episode, we get really deep as we discuss a classic TV show. We tackle the themes of genocide, displacement, pride, resiliency, and white fragility. There is a lot to unpack in this episode and it gets very emotional. It may be emotional for you, dear listener, but we do hope that you can make it to the end. So, make sure you have your tissues and prepare yourself for this special episode.

The music is:

"Trickster", an original composition by Candice Byrd-Boney

And if you learn anything about this episode, we hope that you learn this: Zack Morris didn't just keep it real, he kept it

We met Deer Woman! Another report from the fantastic Indigipop X! This time, we sat down in the breakroom with actress, podcaster, filmmaker, cat and human mom: Kaniehtiio Horn. She talks about her experiences in the world, and how amazing being a mom is.
