Jordan recorded this week's episode from the occupied land of the Mississauga Nation and the Erie people, so-called Cleveland, Ohio.

March recorded this week’s episode from Chicago, the stolen homeland of the Council of Three Fires–the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi–as well as the Peoria and Kickapoo. Today Chicago is home to an active indigenous community that provides invaluable assistance in protecting and restoring natural ecological balance in the area.
