Native America Calling - Monday, July 7, 2025 – Two authors offer a kids-eye view of the importance of relatives

“Fierce Aunties” by author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, Tsimshian) is a colorful, enthusiastic celebration of the Indigenous women we need in our lives. Goodluck’s children’s book explores the many ways women provide support for the young people who look up to them. Another writer, Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve (Sicangu and Ponca), also explores the power of relatives in her young readers chapter book, “The Summer of the Bone Horses.” The book is also an homage to her late brother by telling an interesting piece of his story on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in the late 1940s. Among the awards won by the long-time children’s book author and educator is the National Humanities Medal. Both books are illustrated by the talented artist Steph Littlebird (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde). We’ll hear from all three women about their work.

The Daily - A Dark Moment for Journalism — and Devastation in Texas

Last week, when Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, announced a $16 million settlement with President Trump over editing of a segment of “60 Minutes,” many of the network’s journalists were furious.

The deal also raised questions about the independence of CBS’s journalism, and how much news organizations could be cowed by threats from the president going forward.

David Enrich, an investigations editor at The Times, takes us inside the settlement, and Lowell Bergman, a former CBS producer and investigative journalist at The Times, reminds us that the network has been in a similar situation before and discusses why this time may be different.

First, Edgar Sandoval, who is on the ground in Texas, explains what is happening in the wake of the flooding.

Guest:

  • Edgar Sandoval, a reporter for The New York Times covering Texas.
  • David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York Times.
  • Lowell Bergman, a journalist and former producer for CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
