On this week's show, we bring you an Indigenous Peoples' Day Program produced by students with WSU Vancouver's Documentary Arts Initiative (DocArts), and featuring the following segments: 

  • Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIPs), "Man Camps," and Fossil Fuels: An interview with MMIP advocates Mykel Johnson and Nimiipuu Mole Julian Ankney about organizing to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people, and the role of the fossil fuel industry in fueling ongoing colonial violence against Indigenous people. Mykel Johson is a member of the Multnomah Budget Advisory Council and NW Native Chamber tribal engagement business advisor. Julian Ankney is Director of Native American Programs at Washington State University Vancouver. Ankney's brother Michael Murphy has been missing since 2018. 
  • Indigenous Pathways to Recovery: An interview with Dominique Arthur, a mentor with Painted Horse Recovery Center about recovery and healing from colonial violence by reconnecting with Indigenous culture. 
  • Cultivating Indigenous Plant Knowledge and First Foods: An interview with Julian Ankney and Lakota Cheyenne organizer Roben White about revitalizing Indigenous plant knowledge and cultivating First Foods on WSU Vancouver's 350-acre campus with an Indigenous Traditional Ecological Cultural Knowledge (ITECK) garden. They speak about ITECK as an alternative to carbon-intensive global agribusiness.
