Real Native Roots: Untold Stories Podcast
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Real Native Roots: Untold Stories presents Simon Moya-Smith, an Oglala Lakota and Chicano writer and journalist. Raised to stand up for the rights of Indigenous peoples, to rage against the use of Indian mascots, and later against police brutality and oil and gas pipelines, Simon continues to fight the good fight with humor, wit, and truth. Hear how his Indigenous Chicana mother, grandmother, and grandfather nurtured him with love, food, wisdom, music, and connection to his Oglala Lakota roots. Join us as Simon shares personal stories about his passion for music, purple prose, tacos, and hopes for us to be kind to each other. Follow him on Twitter @simonmoyasmith.
