Native Roots Radio Presents I’m Awake – February 2, 2022

Today’s hosts are Robert Pilot, Wendy Pilot and Ogimaa Giniw Ikwe. Ogimaa has our news today. She talks about the hearing taking place today and tonight regarding the environmental impact statement of Line 5 in Wisconsin (virtually attend at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CzO_Cc1KSjGp0Sqijzt5OA), the effort to release Leonard Peltier from prison after he contracted COVID, protests taking place in Alberta at the US-Canada border over Canada’s new restrictions on unvaccinated cross-border truckers and how the Canadian government typically treats indigenous protestors much harsher than those at the US-Canada border right now. Next we’re joined by Winona LaDuke who talks with the Native Roots Radio crew about Line 5. Later we take your calls. And then in Wendy’s sacred animals segment she talks about anti-poaching elephant efforts in Kenya.
