Ep 12 Interview with Mark and James from Camp Mni Luzahan (originally recorded in December)
Today @DarkMark and @OglalaWarriorAW join us for an interview about Camp Mni Luzahan, a camp meant to help houseless relatives in Rapid City. This episode was recorded in December, but I chose to release it in January. We were also a bit late on editing, but because I know tax season and a new stimulus is coming up and I highly encourage those who can spare some of that money to help this camp or one of the other causes listed in these notes.

Ep 10 Mni Wiconi, Help the Jarvis Bay Community
SHOW NOTES
In this episode Zitkato does a one on one interview with Keiran, a comrade and cousin of the Yuin nation occupied by Australia, where they discuss the PFAS contamination in Jarvis Bay and some questions regarding mainstream issues affecting Australian Indigenous people like prison reform, Uluru, and a few other subjects. We tried to make sure we didnt speak for any nation not present, and instead tried to share information about both countries Inigenous People’s struggle. We called this episode Mni Wiconi, which means water is alive, to express the solidarity between the Standing Rock and other Water Protector struggles and the Yuin Nation and Jarvis Bay
