Episode Synopsis

In this episode Nick Tilsen is joined by Foster Cournoyer Hogan, NDN Collective Bison Coordinator, and Wizipan Little Elk Garriott, NDN Collective President, to announce the launch of a critical mutual aid campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis, discuss how this moment calls us into action, and to share about the upcoming work for the Bison Homelands Initiative at NDN Collective.  GUESTS: Foster Cournoyer Hogan Wizipan Little Elk Garriott LEARN MORE: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople NDN Collective is launching the "Feed The People" campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis. 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. NDN is seeking immediate funding to purchase and distribute bison meat boxes from Sacred Storm Buffalo to families affected in Rapid City and the surrounding communities.  ➡️If you live in Rapid City and are looking for food assistance, we will have our first distribution on November 21. Stay tuned for updates on location and time.  ℹ️Learn more about the campaign: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople  💌 Contribute today: https://ndnco.cc/donatebison  NDN COLLECTIVE'S IMPACT: To learn about our big wins and hear stories from our grantees and loan relative across Turtle Island, read our 2024 Impact Report on our website at: https://ndncollective.org/impact-reports    EPISODE CREDITS:  Host: Nick Tilsen  Executive Producer: Willi White  Music: Mato Wayuhi  Editor: Willi White Copywriter: Jordynn Paz Digital Engagement: Angie Solloa Production Support: Layne L.
