November is Native American Heritage Month—and this year, it arrives amid a historic wave of Indigenous political representation and renewed debate over the federal government’s obligations to Native nations. Journalist Simon Moya-Smith and Indigenous studies educator and mental health professional Julie Francella join John to discuss Peggy Flanagan’s election to the U.S. Senate and Deb Haaland’s election as governor of New Mexico, and why these breakthroughs mean far more than representation alone.They explore Indigenous women’s leadership and the return of balance, the cultural significance of wearing Indigenous-made jewelry, and why Native communities’ treaty rights and federal funding are obligations—not charity. The discussion also looks at the impact of reported funding cuts, the protection of sacred sites and petroglyphs, and how listeners can learn from Indigenous voices, support Native-led work, and challenge familiar misconceptions. Along the way, callers celebrate the election results and reflect on identity, language, and the importance of listening directly to Indigenous people.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
