Dakota/Dine' print and radio journalist Keeler was in South Dakota when the massive storm hit

Co-host Jacqueline Keeler returns from a trip to South Dakota where she witnessed first-hand the unprecedented "bomb cyclone" that triggered massive flooding across the midwest. Numerous Native tribes and communities in South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa were particularly hard hit because of their location and isolation. She and regular host Paul Roland will be joined by Terri Crawford Hansen, a Ho-chunk journalist who has covered the issue of climate change in Indian Country for 30 years.
