🎉 MEDIA INDIGENA 150! 🎉
Added 2019-02-23 08:04:11 +0000 UTCON THIS WEEK'S INDIGENOUS ROUNDTABLE:
A battle over boundaries in the state of Utah. We discuss the simmering split in San Juan County, where a majority Indigenous population now has an Indigenous majority representing it on the region’s top decision-making body. And while some celebrate this new democratic era for the county, others agitate for its division.
Back at the roundtable this week are Candis Callison, Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.
LINKS WE DISCUSS:
- San Juan County Commission now holds a Native American majority
- San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman clinches GOP nomination to replace retiring Rep. Mike Noel
- San Juan County’s first majority-Navajo commission sworn in
- ‘I’m sure it’s a culture shock for most of you’: Navajos take the majority on the San Juan County Commission
- A state lawmaker says a San Juan County split should be on the table, after a court-ordered redistricting that ‘disenfranchised’ his voters
