Forrest Cuch Part 1: Unfinished Business with America's Indigenous People's

Pax Natura Foundation Season 1 Episode 4

For the first episode of this two part presentation, we’ll be taking you to a conversation between Jordan Anderson and Pax Natura board member and former Director of Indian Affairs for the State of Utah, Forrest Cuch. Forrest is a member of the Ute Tribe of Northeastern Utah and a dedicated conservationist.

In this episode, he gives us some insight into a broad range of issues that affect indigenous communities in the US today and the still-present effects and unfinished business of the first meeting between Christopher Columbus and the Tanos People. Forrest also shares some of his thoughts on how we can build a more just, equitable, and healthy world for us all.

Discussion also includes insights from the books My Grandmother’s Hands by Resma Menakem, and The Book of Destiny by Carlos Barios.

We hope you enjoy.
