Tribal traditions, culture, and language are ways being used to help keep Native people out of the justice system. Many who’ve been through the Western justice system say often times addiction, and not addressing historical trauma, led to them ending up locked up, while advocates continue to lean on Indigenous ways of life for prevention, reentry, and recovery efforts. We’ll also hear from young people who are advocating on grassroots levels for their people when it comes to the environment, MMIP, and various other issues.

Storytelling is a rich tradition in Alaska Native culture, and radio stations often play a role in keeping that tradition alive. They also offer much more to the communities they serve, especially in rural Alaska. Radio stations provide emergency alerts, news and information, and cultural programs. Tribal and rural radio stations are now at risk of going dark after the elimination of federal funding.

Climate change has sparked a move toward renewable energy, like nuclear power. But some Indigenous communities in the West are dealing with a troubling nuclear legacy – cancers caused by atomic testing and uranium mining. They want Congress to revive a law that provided money for screening and medical care.

Our Living Lands is a five-minute, weekly segment focused on climate change’s impact on Indigenous communities across the country. The program highlights the wide-ranging impact of climate change – and shares potential solutions for addressing these problems.

Our Living Lands is a collaboration of the Mountain West News Bureau, Koahnic Broadcast Corporation, and Native Public Media.
