In the premiere episode, Crystal Echo Hawk zooms out from the daily chaos to examine the deeper shifts reshaping American life across politics, the economy, culture, media, and social connection. She sits down with Eric Ward (Executive Vice President, Race Forward), Mark Trahant (Writer, and Host of Breaking History on Indigenous House), and Monica Ramirez (President and CEO, Justice for Migrant Women) to unpack topline findings from groundbreaking research with IllumiNative on Native American representation. The group discusses how polarization, isolation, and fragmentation of media are leading to the rise of authoritarianism and threats to democracy, and later unpack potential solutions to these compounding crises like community building, joy as an act of resistance, and more.
