As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage underresources indigenous communities across the United States, hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa consider the ways our country's Eurocentric obsession with quantification and categorization have fed the marginalization of Native peoples and African Americans alike, and how the historical undercounting of Native populations has led to the COVID crisis our indigenous brothers and sisters are experiencing today. They speak with activist, hip hop artist, and former state house candidate Lyla June about our shared struggles for sovreignty and how Native wisdom informs her environmental justice advocacy. And they honor Native hip hop from various corners of North America, from the boujee stylings of Haisla duo Snotty Noz Rez Kids to a pride in tradition seen in Dreezus' Warpath to the poetic resilience of JB the First Lady's Still Here.
