Episode Details

Tohono Oodham Nation leaders are challenging plans for a second border wall, citing environmental, cultural, and security concerns. They recently met with DHS Director Markwayne Mullin, highlighting the walls potential harm to sacred sites, communities, wildlife, and traditional pilgrimages. Despite their efforts in border security, including migrant rescues and drug busts, the tribe is concerned about the walls impact on their ancient connection to the land. Tensions escalated when contractors accidentally damaged a 1,000-year-old desert geoglyph, and the tribe plans to engage with Congress to protect their interests.
