America Are We Ready for the First 100 Days?: Native American Tribal Sovereignty

Airing LIVE Thursday, March 4th, 8-9pm ET.

Join the national conversation with host Brian Lehrer as the Biden/Harris administration starts its work. 

President Biden’s nomination of Rep. Deb Haaland (D, NM) to be Secretary of the Interior would put a Native American (Laguna Pueblo) in charge of the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the first time ever and perhaps mark a new era for the relationship between the federal government and American Indians.  

Is it time for a new relationship between the U.S. government and America's Indian nations?

This week, Brian is joined by:

• Joy Harjo (Muscogee Nation) U.S. Poet Laureate, performer and writer, editor of When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry (W. W. Norton & Company, 2020), who has a new album "I Pray For My Enemies" - out tomorrow.
• Julian Brave NoiseCat (Canim Lake Band) vice president of policy and strategy with Data for Progress; narrative change director of the Natural History Museum; and a fellow of the Type Media Center, NDN Collective, and the Center for Humans and Nature
