Topic: Ute Nation

Shelly Williams, an elder of the Ute Nation, discusses the history of government abuses against Native Americans, including Wounded Knee and the ongoing struggle at Big Mountain. The hosts note that Native Americans were only granted full citizenship rights relatively recently. A parallel is drawn between the treatment of indigenous people and the Davidians, including a new detail that the Davidians attempted to use Morse code to communicate with the outside world before being blinded by FBI floodlights.
