Over the past couple of years, we have seen the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) go to the Supreme Court, fights for indigenous water rights and environmental protections at Standing Rock and the Willow Project, increased visibility for missing and murdered indigenous people (MMIP), and the Pope's apology tour to Indigenous people for the settler-colonial violence they endured from the Canadian government and the Catholic Church. Are we ready to talk about Indigenous Sovereignty? In this episode, native civil rights activist Rev. Gator Lone Wolf joins us to discuss the contemporary issues that Indigenous people are facing today. Learn with us how we can all become better advocates for Indigenous rights.
