Native America Calling – March 17, 2016: Protecting Bears Ears LISTEN
The nearly two million acres in southeastern Utah is so important that five tribes are proposing an unprecedented collaboration with the federal government. The coalition wants President Barack Obama to establish the Bears Ears National Monument. A proposal in the Utah representatives in Congress would preempt that effort. We will get an update on the effort to protect Bears Ears. We’ll also discuss the implications of national monument status.

Guests:

Carleton Bowekaty (Zuni Pueblo) – Councilman on the Pueblo of Zuni Tribal Council and co-chair for the Bears Ears Coalition

Clean Water in Native America

Native America Calling: Monday, March 7, 2016 – Clean Water in Native America LISTEN

Flint, Michigan captured the nation’s attention when its municipal water was deemed unsafe to drink.  The city’s average levels of lead are twice the recommended Environmental Protection Agency standards. While Flint deals with its crisis, Native America has its own on-going water problems. The EPA estimates 13 percent of Native American and Alaska Native homes lack safe drinking water or adequate wastewater disposal. Is the water in your community safe to drink? How do we make sure clean drinking water is available to everyone?

Guests:

Kathleen Brosemer (Echota Cherokee) -Environmental Program Manager for the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa Tribe

Shaun Livermore – Operations Manager for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians Utilities Authority
