Episode 7: Loop 202, U.S. Borders, and Solidarity

<p>In Episode 7, I talk to Napoleon Marrietta about struggles within his and other communities surrounding Phoenix, Arizona. We discuss Loop 202, South Mountain Freeway, and its development on Oodham land. In this discussion, the topic of tribal consultation and colonial courts surfaces.</p> <p>We discuss the border on indigenous lands, Tohono Oo'dham land, and how it has affect the community. Colonial borders are always detrimental to indigenous communities.</p> <p>Throughout the discussion, solidarity amongst indigenous people is brought up. Phoenix is one of the largest border towns and it hosts many different tribal members.</p> <p>Intro/Outro Music: @<a href="https://soundcloud.com/PurpleCatsInSlacks">PurpleCatsInSlacks</a></p>
