Indigenous People’s Day
Today The News Cycle focuses on Indigenous People’s Day. We sat down with Lewis Lawyer, an assistant professor at UC Davis, to talk about his work in language revitalization, and how Indigenous People’s Day is seen by the Indigenous groups he works with. Carlos Chavez talks about the actual impacts of land acknowledgement ceremonies, and Satya Jackson Dunning speaks with teachers about their plans for the long weekend.
Hosted and produced by Sam Ochsner-Hembrow. Music by Daniel Ruiz Jiminez. Packages by Carlos Chavez and Satya Jackson Dunning.
