In this episode, I speak with Majerle Lister (member of the Navajo Nation, host of Wósdéé Podcast, PhD at University of Arizona) about sovereignty, the history of Navajo tribal government, red-baiting, and solidarity between Indigenous and white working people. I also speak with Alexandra Lépine (Métis communist and organizer, Theory and Criticism PhD candidate at Western University) about class and colonial antagonisms in Canada, identity and the concept of "white-passing," and the necessity of anti-fascist organizing.
