Morning Conversation 5/14/20
From John Gonzales: “Good words from Robert Upham. Robert is Lakota, Nakota, Dakota and the uncle of Red Fawn Fallis. He was also a Standing Rock Water Protector, who I was honored to share space with. He ran a mobile radio station in Oceti Sakowin and later Rose Bud camp, to help keep the people informed.
Robert gives great insight into Covid-19, as it relates to indigenous communities, that now represent an estimated 2.09% of the current total US population.”
