On November 13th, join your host, Dr. J. Kehaulani Kauanui for an
interview with featured guest, Gale Courey Toensing, journalist and
correspondent for Indian Country Today who covers Native American
struggles in New England and Long Island.  Toensing is a woman of
Palestinian and Lebanese descent who is a member of the National Arab
American Journalists Association, as well as the Native American
Journalists Association. In this program, she draws on some of the
parallels between Native American and Palestinian struggles, anti-Indian
groups in New England and throughout the US, the problems with mainstream
media coverage of indigenous sovereignty struggles in Connecticut,
anti-Black racism used against tribal nations,  and how the state
governments of the region are suppressing indigenous self-
determination.
