This year, the MEDIA INDIGENA roundtable wraps up 2017 with a long look back at the year that was and how it impacted Indigenous peoples, for good or for ill.

A note re: changes to Patreon fees from Rick

Friends,
I have some very bad news: due to a unfortunate accident involving the laptop I was using to edit the show on the road, I am unable to access, much less release, this week's episode. until the unit gets fixed which, given it's a Sunday will be tough :(
I am trying my best to see what repair shops will help me out.
