Learning to create and live as a community is difficult when there is a history of oppression and disenfranchisement. Today Dr. Karen speaks with returning guest Jeff Rasley about the responsibility of the United States to Native American Nations. Listen to discover why community development may be more powerful than reparations and how local community ownership is important to success. Jeff is the author of many books including, “America’s Existential Crisis: Our Inherited Obligation to Native Nations.” His blueprint for working with the Basa people of the Himalayas also has implications for partnership with US Native Nations, other under-resourced communities, and the decisions of corporate leaders.

You are such an engaging host, Dr. Karen. Thank you for offering me the opportunity to advocate for community development of Native American nations.
My pleasure Jeff. Native American Nations are near and dear to my heart. I’d love to see more investment and development in these communities that I personally love and with whom I share a heritage.
