Today’s guest is nationally-recognized indigenous and First Nations activist, Oklahoma journalist and Cherokee Nation citizen, Rebecca Nagle – host of Crooked Media’s sensational new podcast, “This Land.”
This Land is about “an 1839 assassination of a Cherokee leader and a 1999 murder case – two crimes nearly two centuries apart [that] provide the backbone to an upcoming Supreme Court decision that will determine the fate of five tribes and nearly half the land in Oklahoma.”
We have a brilliant conversation about a range of policy issues implicated by the pending SCOTUS decision in the Carpenter v. Murphy dispute. This is a fascinating case for anyone interested in law, public policy, indigenous rights, tribal sovereignty, land rights, and the challenges of fighting against the powerful oil and gas industry.
As we walk through what’s at stake, we explore themes related to the original sin of our nation’s genocide and whether those unresolved issues gave way to the birth of our current political chaos.
And we challenge you to think about your resolve as an activist to stand for the right thing, even if it is not popular.
This and much more on this episode of #SoulForcePolitics.
