Ambler Road

To wrap our 2025 season, we're diving into what is happening in Alaska. How Indigenous people in Alaska are fighting to protect the ecological biodiversity, their subsistence rights, wildlife, and to keep minerals in the ground. Historically roads being built in Alaska have been the ways in which they've exploited the people and the land. One current project being proposed is Ambler Road, over 200 miles of road, in one of the most prescient lands in the world. We sat down with Ricko DeWilde, Diloola Erickson, Naawéiyaa Tagaban who've come all the way from Alaska to share their story of organizing and resistance to protect their way of life.

The U.S. Government shutdown is disrupting SNAP, deepening food insecurity in many Native and rural communities. The crisis is not just about hunger — it reflects the erosion of systems that once ensured community health and sovereignty of food sources. The "Feed the People" campaign is a call to action for funding mutual aid support in response to the disruption of SNAP in the Oceti Sakowin. While responding to the urgent needs of our community, we are also strengthening traditional food systems and collaborating with Indigenous-led projects focused on food sovereignty. ℹ️Learn more about the campaign: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople 💌 Contribute today: https://ndnco.cc/donatebison FOLLOW THE PODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeople SUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES: ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad EPISODE CREDITS: Guests: Ricko DeWilde, Diloola Erickson, Naawéiyaa Tagaban Host: Nick Tilsen Executive Producer: Willi White Music: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi White Digital Engagement: Angie Solloa Production Support: Layne L.
