Native Bidaské: Indian Country is Carrying both Loss and Responsibility with Chance Rush
In this episode of Native Bidaské, host Levi Rickert sits down with longtime contributor, advocate, and speaker Chance Rush for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation about what defined 2025 — and what must come next.
From the passing of national Native leaders and culture bearers, to funding setbacks, elections, sovereignty, and the future of Native media, this conversation asks a harder question: Who steps up when giants are gone?
Rickert and Rush reflect on resilience, accountability, spirituality, and why Native people must control their own narratives — especially as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary and Native communities face renewed political and economic pressure.
This episode also pulls back the curtain on how Native News Online operates, why community investment matters, and what a truly Native-led newsroom looks like in action.
This isn’t a recap of headlines.
It’s a conversation about responsibility, trust, and where Indian Country goes next.
