Native America Calling - Tuesday, August 5, 2025 — The fight for Shinnecock Nation fishing rights

The Shinnecock Nation in New York is in an ongoing legal battle to have their fishing rights recognized. A lawsuit brought forward by a Shinnecock tribal citizen argues the tribe has never ceded their right to fish in any treaty or agreement. The tribe has no treaty with the federal government, but instead with British colonists from the 1600s. This case could possibly affirm the tribe’s unended aboriginal claim to fish in the Hamptons. We’ll talk with Shinnecock citizens about what’s at stake with the case as it moves forward in federal district court.

GUESTS

Taobi Silva (Shinnecock), fisherman

Riley Plumer (Red Lake Nation), attorney

Randy King (Shinnecock), former chairman of the Shinnecock Nation Board of Trustees

Ashely Dawn Anderson (Cherokee Nation), Tribal Water Institute Fellow at the Native American Rights Fund

Cato Podcast - Atomic Economics

Peter Van Doren and David Kemp bring libertarian skepticism to the bipartisan political support for nuclear power. They analyze why regulatory reform alone may not solve nuclear's economic problems and discuss how recent U.S. projects have failed to deliver on promises of cost-effectiveness even after a supposed "renaissance" in the late 2000s. They finish up with a discussion on whether small modular reactors (SMRs) are the nuclear silver bullet.
