Sat down Bernadette at the upcoming Dave Smith Park in Windsor California. We talked about caring the legacy of our fathers and keeping our traditions strong for our future generations. We also discuss MMIP/MMIR and loss of her sisters. I was lucky enough to have Bernadette sing a song for the closing of the episode. OH!

Discussion on the importance of hair for boys and men. Also talked about Land Back and Energy. It is always good to sit down with my cousin Batsulwin and discuss topics like this. We grew up together in a deep cultural family, so we have a lot of the same beliefs. Always a good discussion when we talk. I hope you enjoy.

On this Episode I sat down with my cousin Batsulwin in California at the Pechanga Casino and Resort. We attended a weekend conference for Native Americans. We talk about Fentanyl and what is doing to our Native youths, status of Rattlesnake Island, name change of Kelseyville in Lake County, translation of Native Language to English, and finding your way to heal.
