Elected as Chief of the Ramapough Indian tribe in 2008, Dwaine Perry tells of his childhood learning from elders, dealing with discrimination, and his later work as Chief of the Ramapough Lenape Munsee people. We talk about the struggles the tribe has had with their right to practice their ceremonies, with environmental racism and their bridge building with other tribes. We also discuss the nature of Native American spirituality and how it may play a role in the world today.
