Episode 120 Richard Trudell
This week on a special edition of the Live to Walk Again Podcast we had the opportunity to speak with one of the most prominent figures over the last 50 years in the progression of Native American affairs, Richard Trudell. We discussed his upbringing as a member of the Santee Dakota Sioux Tribe in Nebraska after being forcibly removed from their Minnesota homelands, attending an Indian boarding school and using sports to equalize his situation. Then we talked about his longtime friendship with Billy Frank Jr, his work with the Robert F Kennedy Memorial foundation, and a few interesting stories about working with different professional athletes to shine a light on Tribal Issues. Enjoy this deep dive into the history of a true legend for Native American activism!! Please listen, like, rate, review, and share!!
