  • Getting close to US native czlture

    Thank you for giving me interesting insights to native American culture! Couldnt be closer to me, here in Europe. The only thing irritating me is that there are no perspectives from non-US indigenious groups, not even f.e. with a subject as lithium harvesting which has its hugest spot world wide in Chile and Bolivia. Why is America so oftenly supposed to be synonymous to US?

When I found Native America Calling, I knew I found what I was looking for- it's a fabulous mix of everything you could want- politics, the news cycle, food, entertainment, etc. As it's a daily show and there are A LOT of back catologue to go through, I'm still really behind (March 2020) but I love it so far.
