Native America Calling - Wednesday, September 3, 2025 – LGBTQ2+ identity is more than just an artistic expression

Indigenous Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ artists often add another layer of expression to their work and stories. On top of celebrating their tribal and personal identities, they’re bringing stories and voices forward that aren’t often heard from elsewhere. They can also provide recognition and support for other LGBTQ2+ people searching for connection. We’ll take a look at three new and upcoming Indigenous Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ art exhibits: “Queering Indigeneity” coming to the Minnesota Museum of American Art, “Two-Spirit and MMIW/R Voices” touring Minnesota, and “Two-Spirit and Gender Diversity through History” at the new Orillia Recreation Centre in Ontario, Canada.

GUESTS

Penny Kagigebi (White Earth Ojibwe), artist and emerging curator

Dr. Kate Beane (Flandreau Santee Dakota and Muscogee), executive director of the Minnesota Museum of American Art

Arnold Dahl-Wooley (Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe), national public speaker, advocate for the Two-Spirit LGBTQ+ community, and Twin Cities Pride BIPOC Leader of the Year

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - Building Identity Orchestration for AI Agents with Granville Schmidt of Strata

We are bringing you a special episode, as our friends at Strata return to the podcast. You might remember our interview from Season 8 with Eric Olden, Co-founder & CEO of the company. Eric took us through the creation story of the company. Today, we will be talking with Granville Schmidt, Chief Architect at Strata, who has been instrumental in architecting and building identity orchestration for AI agents from the ground up. In our chat, we are going to be discussing how the enterprises need to take advantage of identify for agents, and can do so seamlessly, no matter their level of tech debt, disconnection, or complex migration path.

Questions

  • Let's break down Identity Orchestration for our audience. Can you explain what it is and walk us through a real customer scenario where it made a huge difference
  • Enterprises have accumulated decades of identity tech debt. What are the main problems identity orchestration solves for companies trying to modernize?
  • I noticed you work with customers in what you call DDIL environments - disconnected, disrupted, intermittent, and limited bandwidth scenarios. Can you help us understand what these environments look like in practice and why identity becomes such a critical challenge there? 
  • You've pioneered Identity Orchestration for AI Agents. What was the moment when you realized AI agents needed a fundamentally different approach to identity management?
  • Imagine a company with 1,000 employees but 50,000 AI agents running autonomously. How does your platform handle identity for all these agents differently than traditional systems?

Headlines From The Times - Judge Rules Trump’s L.A. Guard Deployment Illegal, Israel Calls Up Reservists, L.A. Football Scandal, OpenAI Lawsuit

A federal judge ruled President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles was illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. Israel mobilized 60,000 reservists as its Gaza offensive escalated, sparking protests and warnings from aid groups. In Los Angeles, a football booster admitted paying families to transfer athletes, while California faces triple-digit heat, lightning, and rising wildfire risk. In business, OpenAI was sued after parents alleged ChatGPT gave their son suicide instructions, and the U.S. suspended the “de minimis” exemption on cheap imports, raising costs for online shoppers and challenging retailers like Shein and Temu.

Marketplace All-in-One - Can you buy wins in sports or the AI talent wars?

Big Tech companies have been in an all-out bidding war to capture top AI researchers and engineers. Companies like Meta have reportedly been offering compensation packages in the hundreds of millions of dollars. They're the kind of eye-watering sums you usually only hear about in pro sports. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino explores whether this strategy of collecting expensive superstars will pay off for Big Tech firms looking to win the AI race.
