A Flurry of Legal DecisionsFriday, January 14
1:00 pm on FNX 9.3In 2022, we will hear a flurry of decisions in the U.S. Supreme Court that will involve Federal Indian Law. In other circuit courts, there are also major decisions and cases to look for that involve Native people. Joining us is Cherokee Nation citizen Stacy Leeds who is a professor of law at Arizona State University. Leeds was the first woman to serve on the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court. Overhauling the Canadian Child Welfare System will soon be underway, thanks in part to First Nations woman Cindy Blackstock. Earlier this month, the Canadian government announced it will pay $31.5 billion to fix the nation's child welfare system. Writer and producer Miles Morrisseau has been covering this topic and he joins the show with more background. It has been one year since Navajo citizen Christina Haswood was sworn into office to represent district 10 in the Kansas state legislature. She was elected into office at age 26. Since she's been elected, this Indigenous woman has advocated for change in Native communities. She joins the show to reflect on her first year in office - and to tell us if she will seek reelection. -

The Impact of Covid-19 In 2021Friday, December 31
1:00 pm on FNX 9.3One of the stories we reported this year was about 4-year-old Stella Martin. She contracted COVID-19 and her long battle with the virus left her paralyzed. ICT's Aliyah Chavez reports about her recovery, and about the generous donations that were given to Stella. Dr. Joseph Lashley, Chickasaw, had been among other healthcare workers at the frontlines of the pandemic. In April 2020 - a month after COVID ramped up in the U.S.- he says he began feeling sick. He had tested positive. Shortly after, he was put on a ventilator where he stayed for 39 days. ICT's Mark Trahant interviewed Lashley earlier this year. When COVID hit, the U.S. government passed emergency laws to help citizens get through the financial hardships. That ended up resulting in tribal nations getting major aid. National Congress of American Indians CEO Dante Desiderio says "it's not a question anymore of whether or not you include Indian Country. It's a question of how much you include Indian Country." Victor Lopez-Carmen is a third year medical student at Harvard University. He shares what it feels like to be a doctor in training during COVID. -

2021: A Look Back at Indigenous RepresentationThursday, December 30
1:00 pm on FNX 9.32021 started off with a Tlingit artist winning a Caldecott medal for her artwork in "We Are Water Protectors." The book was illustrated by Michaela Goade and written by Carole Lindstrom. It was the first time an Indigenous person ever won the Caldecott. Peacock's "Rutherford Falls" premiered in April. It reflected a time for Natives on screen and behind to shine on a major stage. We hear from the show's actors and writers. The novel "Killers of the Flower Moon" is the basis for a major motion picture featuring Leonardo DiCaprio. It is set to premiere next year. The book tells the tragic story of Osage people who were mysteriously murdered in the 1920s. ICT's Kaitlin Onawa Boysel tells us more. A new state-of-the-art museum opened in September in Oklahoma, City. The First Americans Museum aims to represent Native people through storytelling like museums. ICT's Kaitlin Onawa Boysel was on location. Ricko DeWilde is a reality tv star on National Geographic's "Life Below Zero." In a November interview, he tells us what that experience is like. -

Education to Entertainment: Changes In 2021Wednesday, December 29
1:00 pm on FNX 9.3Students in North Dakota public schools are now required to learn the history of tribes thanks to a bill authored by state Rep. Ruth Buffalo. She explains the curriculum and when it went into effect. Educational change also came to the state of Nevada. Students from tribes in Nevada are able to attend a state university tuition free. Besides this change, the state removed the so-called "sundown sirens. " These audible signals were reminders of the past when all Natives were supposed to leave town once the sun went down. This law, left over from the 1800s, was removed by the governor. Stacey Montooth, the executive director of the Nevada Indian Commission, staged the signing at the historic Stewart Indian School. Hollywood also saw some changes that started to brew in 1973. Sacheen Littlefeather refused the Oscar award for Best Actor on behalf of actor Marlon Brando. Brando wanted to bring attention to the mistreatment of Native people. Today, Native writers and actors are seeing a burst of success with the launch of "Rutherford Falls" and "Reservation Dogs." Both series have been renewed for a second season in 2022. Jana Schmieding, who is in both series, joins us to talk about her experiences. -
