We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella discuss the government shutdown and the White House’s planned $300 million ballroom project, coming at the same time SNAP benefits are being cut and the GOP moves to gut VA healthcare. The impact on Indian Country is expected to be severe, with nearly one in four Native households relying on SNAP. They also covered the Vatican’s return of Indigenous artifacts, Iliff Seminary’s reckoning with its gruesome past, and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe’s lawsuit against 3M over PFAS contamination.
