Many of us will celebrate Thanksgiving this week, but for many Indigenous communities, it's a day of reflection or even mourning. Host Raheel Ramzanali is talking to Maaliyah Papillion, council member with the Atakapa-Ishak Nation, about her tribe's history, the challenges they face today, and what they’re doing to make sure their people and heritage are never forgotten.
