Friday, July 25, 2025 – A unique festival celebrates Indigenous literature and arts

Missoula, Mont. is the setting for the inaugural festival of literature, music, and other arts known as Indigipalooza. Musician and former U.S. poet laureate Joy Harjo (Mvskoke) headlines the list of talent offering their perspectives on the state of Indigenous storytelling.

We’ll also hear from filmmaker Adam Piron about his curated selection of films screened in New York highlighting Native American urban relocation.

And we’ll get context for President Donald Trump’s demand that sports teams return to their offensive names and mascots.
