In Season 2 Episode 3: The NDNs are coming! ... to Hold Racism Accountable, Nick Tilsen, NDN Collective President and CEO talks about the racism towards Indigenous Peoples on their homelands and how systemic racism is a problematic cause of economic injustice for our Indigenous relatives across Turtle Island.

It's a daily hardship, "Whether it's in Gallup or in Rapid City. The story is the same." Nick Tilsen said. Our 'Rapid City vs. Racism' campaign is our effort to dismantle systemic racism on our homelands in Rapid City, which includes the civil rights lawsuit against the Grand Gateway Hotel.

Featured guests include Sunny Red Bear, Associate Director of Organizing, and Eva Cardenas, Director of Organizing.
