Listen Later

The Super Bowl kicks off today, and for many people that will also include some form of gambling. As the industry reaches more and more into the world of professional sports, the Navajo Nation is taking steps to launch its first Sportsbook. Correspondent Antonia Gonzales learns more about how it works and what it might mean for the Nation and it's finances. 

Gonzales also continues her coverage of a push from Indigenous communities to discontinue the use of Native American names and imagery in professional sports. The latest example has to do with a U.K. rugby team. Antonia learns how the push is paying off and how it might serve as a model for other teams and professional leagues. 

Plus, Native American youth will be gathering soon in Arizona for the first Native Youth UNITY gathering since the pandemic started. Find out more about the event, designed to help young people deal with the stresses, depression and isolation of the last two years. And hear about the star-studded line-up at this unique event.
