Episode #76: WTF Updates

WTF is going on in our world and in Indian Country??? The U.S. is finally looking into boarding schools - COVID is doing crazy things and now there is monkey pox? What the F is that? (Don't accept any blankets!) Repatriation issues continue to grow. How does the Russian invasion of the Ukraine effect Indian Country? Florida has banned using the word "gay." Female reproductive rights may soon be destroyed. Oh - there's some good stuff, too! 

Hang out with Colleen Medicine (Anishinaabe) & Shannon O'Loughlin (Choctaw) for the replay of this LIVE video show!
