The Red Nation Podcast

In this episode, we speak with Indigenous scholars Dr. Sardana Nikolaeva and Dr. Masha Kardashevskaya about their essays on Indigenous research methodologies. They discuss the significance of Indigenous-led research, its challenges, and the insights it offers within different geopolitical contexts. The conversation also touches on the importance of self-awareness in this work and the key lessons learned from navigating these complex research landscapes.

The Red Nation attended this year’s 55th annual National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In 1970, Indigenous people and organizations of New England and the American Indian Movement protested at the settler colonial monuments of the Mayflower 2 and Plymouth Rock, disrupting and disproving the myth of so-called Thanksgiving and providing a counter-narrative that cuts the myths of colonization right to the core. Today’s episode is an edited version of the line of speeches from this year’s event.

Vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party and Minnesota governor Tim Walz stopped in Window Rock, AZ where snipers lined the monument and three Diné citizens were brutalized by his staffers during the Harris/Walz campaign stop. Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren announced the public event the day before, 10 days before the general election. While standing in the crowd, a Diné woman was continuously harassed by authorities and attacked by a Walz staffer, while another Diné man was brutalized and arrested. Meanwhile, Buu Nygren, President of the Navajo Nation, was getting heckled about his missing Vice President and another woman chanting for Trump in the crowd. It was clear that campaign staffers weren’t clamping down on "disruptors", rather, they were targeting Diné people--on their own homelands--policing anyone who supports Palestine. In this episode, Justine hosts Janene, Kiley, and Koi as they recount their violent removals from the event, and their analyses of Navajo Nation Police, the widespread acceptance of genocide in the Democratic Party, and the blatant disregard for tribal sovereignty during the U.S. presidential elections.

TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. Every Child Matters – Community Rally in Tuba City, AZ September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. On September 24, a sixth-grade male teacher was arrested at the school for public sexual indecency after evidence of him masturbating in a classroom was collected by students. An act that had been happening for years. The perpetrator was released approximately 18 hours later, and the students’ families have not been able to receive further details of the investigation. The timing of the incident and rally happened to line up with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation- a national holiday in Canada honoring Indigenous students who never returned home from boarding school and survivors of residential schools. The incident happened at a Bureau of Indian Education boarding school, establishing that these incidents are ongoing and not of the past.
