I talk to indigenous rights scholar and geographer Roxanne Ornelas of Miami University about indigenous land rights, the environment, and the National Parks.
One small correction: In the podcast, I say that the government of Philadelphia dropped two one-ton bombs on the members of MOVE. Professor Roane offered a more correct description, so I am updating it here. He notes, "they dropped 1 C4 bomb procured by the PPD from the FBI and then let it burn for more than an hour."The artwork in the episode is courtesy of Sauda Jackson and was made for me by her.
