Host Dr. J. Kehaulani Kauanui interviews Gale Courey Toensing, journalist and correspondent for Indian Country Today, who covers Native American struggles in New England and Long Island. Toensing is a woman of Palestinian and Lebanese descent who is a member of the National Arab American Journalists Association, as well as the Native American Journalists Association. In this program, she draws on some of the parallels between Native American and Palestinian struggles, anti-Indian groups in New England and throughout the US, the problems with mainstream media coverage of indigenous sovereignty struggles in Connecticut, anti-Black racism used against tribal nations, and how the state governments of the region are suppressing indigenous self-determination.
