While Native American Heritage Month is a time to honor the stories, traditions and contributions of Indigenous communities, the true recognition goes beyond just one month.
From the fight for the right to wear traditional regalia at graduation to the complex regulation of psilocybin, this week, we revisit powerful conversations that center Indigenous voices, and explore critical issues impacting Native communities in Colorado.
Plus, Indigenous activist Raven Payment joins us to discuss Native history, current challenges, and the significance of November for Indigenous people. Payment is a leader in expanding investigations into missing and murdered indigenous relatives, and who advocated for the legislation allowing native graduates to wear traditional regalia during graduation ceremonies.
