We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

This week, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella joined John for a spooky-season conversation that blended truth, history, and humor. They talked about Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and how Indigenous traditions honor those who came before us.

They also tackled headlines that can’t be ignored:

Vice President J.D. Vance’s harmful claim that Indigenous peoples practiced “widespread child sacrifice”, and why that myth has deep colonial roots.

The Blackfeet Nation’s buffalo and elk harvests to feed families during the government shutdown: a powerful act of food sovereignty and self-reliance.

And the real “scary story” is how rhetoric from leaders continues to erase Indigenous truths while tribal nations keep showing what leadership looks like.

Listeners called in with great questions, including Kendall, who got into a heated debate about mascots! Spoiler alert: Viking mascots were mentioned and Simon dropped a few "cabron" and "pendejo" bombs!

It was an episode about myth-busting, survival, and remembering that even in spooky season, truth has power.
