Listen "196. Tribal Wisdom, Bilateral Vision"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Enrique Perret speaks with Rudy Soto, Executive Director of the National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC) and former Presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Their conversation explores the vital role that Tribal Nations play in the fabric of the United States — from governance and cultural heritage to economic and community development. Rudy shares thoughtful perspectives on how these sovereign nations contribute to the broader national dialogue, especially in rural development and housing.
They also dive into U.S.–Mexico agricultural ties and the importance of collaboration across borders. As an alumnus of the USMexico360 program, Rudy reflects on how the experience deepened his understanding of the bilateral relationship and reshaped his approach to public service.
