International Indian Treaty Council

Uh, we are joined, I should say, by Summer Blaze Aubrey.

She is a, an attorney, citizen of the Cherokee Nation, descendant of the Blackfeet Nation, staff attorney Indigenous Peoples' Rights International Indian Treaty Council.

We are happy to have you with us, Summer Blaze Aubrey.

Welcome to Flashpoints.

Tell us about the tribe and then maybe you could just give us a thumbnail sketch on some of the, uh, so inevitable confrontations that are growing out of this extreme right-wing, uh, administration in Washington, DC that has essentially demonstrated a hatred, uh, p- in particular for indigenous communities.

Yeah, definitely.

So the International Indian Treaty Council is, uh, representing and partnered with the Tohono O'odham Nation, which, um, d- unfortunately they're bifurcated by the border wall and the international border.

They're down in southern Arizona.
