Simon and Julie went live with John to explore powerful stories from Indian Country. They covered the Miccosukee Tribe’s lawsuit over “Alligator Alcatraz”; reflected on 80 years since the U.S. detonated the first nuclear bomb on stolen Mescalero Apache land; and discussed how Medicaid cuts threaten Native healthcare.

Listeners called in to share their stories—one even asked about burning sage (smudging) at an Indian Health Services clinic.
