John and co-host Jason Garcia speak with Nicole Mason and Christin Crabtree, who are helping to organize a homeless encampment on city owned land, made up mostly of indigenous people, called Camp Nenookaasi. The City of Minneapolis has notified the camp that they will be evicted on December 14, which Nicole and Christin say will make it harder to deliver services and housing to camp residents. We talk about the city's recent history of encampment responses going back to the first Wall of Forgotten Natives back in 2018; and how the city's current practice of evictions is just pushing people from one neighborhood to the next, making it harder to provide services.
