ICYMI: Native issues that matter

Thursday on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce catches up on some interesting and engaging topics that are important to Native people: A college in Florida insists on appropriating stereotypical Native themes in a recognition “ceremony”; the simultaneous eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kilauea in Hawaii are a rare, sacred occurrence; and the fate of a Native-focused charter school in Denver.
