October 1, 2026: Alight and doused.

The 2nd Stockbridge Munsee Homelands Powwow is taking place this weekend after an incredibly well received event last year. This iteration brings even more descendants of the peoples whose land we now live on to reconnect with the places of their ancestors. We’ll speak with organizers Ginger Stevens and Mysti Hammer about the start of this celebration, and what they’re doing to keep the connections between the present day peoples and the places of their past strong.  And Congressman Jim McGovern sees the midterms on the horizons and has some very valid concerns about how they’ll go, so we’ll explore his fears about voter suppression and learn to whom the unopposed representative is lending his campaigning power, the unprecedented lack of work days for the house of representatives, his take on the new AI powered government site america dot gov, and the recent revelations on the catholic church here in Massachusetts including the diocese in his district.
