Victory
The Blackfeet believe that their people were created among the mountains and springs that rise from where Badger Creek and the Two Medicine River trace their headwaters.
The Blackfeet Nation Just Won a Decades-Long Fight to Protect Their Sacred Lands
Victory! On June 16, 2020, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., rejected a Louisiana company’s bid to keep its oil and gas drilling lease in Montana’s Badger-Two Medicine region, adjacent to Glacier National Park. The decision settles a decades-long fight to protect lands and waters sacred to the Blackfeet and critical for wildlife habitat.
Aaron Carapella of Tribal Nations Maps
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
We’re just a few weeks away from the presidential inauguration and an historic milestone. If confirmed, Representative Deb Haaland of New Mexico will be the first Native American Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. She’s been selected to lead the Department of the Interior. That’s the agency that oversees the country’s natural resources, national parks and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. So in honor of this historic moment and to start the new year off right, we thought it would be a good chance to learn more about the native nations experience.
And for that, we’ve called Aaron Carapella. He’s the creator of Tribal Nations Maps. That’s a site dedicated to mapping the lands that Native Americans lived on prior to European settlement. And he’s recently launched a section of the site to highlight children’s books focused on characters and stories rooted in the Native American experience. And he’s with us now.

Deb Haaland
Deb Haaland’s Cabinet Appointment Will Give Native Youth the Hope They Need
Opinion. The selection of Rep. Deb Haaland, a tribal citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, as secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior is historic. It makes her the first American Indian to ever hold a cabinet-level position within a presidential administration in the history of the United States.

Good News
Every Major Bank Has Now Ruled Out Funding Arctic Drilling
We got another one. On Monday evening, Bank of America said that it will no longer finance fossil fuel exploration in the Arctic, joining Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Chase, Wells Fargo, and CitiBank, which all announced similar policies this year. That means no major U.S.
Shaping Rock ’n’ Roll
How Native Culture Helped Shape Rock ‘n’ Roll – Yes! Magazine
It’s a guitar riff that’s only 30 seconds long and simple enough that Link Wray came up with it while playing at a sock hop. He repeated the riff several times when he recorded the 1958 single “Rumble.”

Film Documents Lives of Girls, Women on Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota
Poverty, drugs, alcohol, frequent disappearances of young women and the absence of law enforcement are all issues plaguing the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in South Dakota. But women there are trying to make the future better and brighter as they work to create “a girl society” that is aimed at helping girls aged 10 to 18.
