Nick sits down with resident uncle, artist, and NDN Store manager JayCee Beyale. JayCee draws inspiration from street art and graffiti, using a combination of spray paints and acrylics to celebrate the fusion of technology with Indigenous culture, primarily in paintings and murals. Together, they talk about why it’s important for arts, creativity, and swag to have a permanent place in the movement; JayCee’s artist journey; and specifically why NDN has a store to put out art and messaging into the world. “The products on the NDN store aren’t just non-profit swag, it's art that has grown out of struggle, organizing and movement work.”Get your movement swag at: https://ndnstore.xyz/ Follow the NDN Store on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thendnstore/ SUPPORT OUR WORK:💌 Help us continue this vital truth-telling media work, donate to NDN Collective's For the People Campaign: https://ndnforthepeople.org FOLLOW THE PODCAST:https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeopleSUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES: ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad  EPISODE CREDITS: Featuring: JayCee BeyaleHost: Nick TilsenProducer: Willi White Studio Technician: Jerome Richard LeBeau Jr.Production Assistant: Kaitlyn MartinMusic: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi WhiteDigital Engagement: Angie SolloaPRESS & MEDIA:press@ndncollective.org FOLLOW NDN COLLECTIVE:https://ndncollective.org https://www.instagram.com/ndncollectivehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ndncollective/https://www.facebook.com/ndncol https://www.threads.net/@ndncollectivehttps://bsky.app/profile/ndncollective.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ndncollective https://x.com/ndncollective

Nick Tilsen, Founder & CEO of NDN Collective, sits down with Taylor Gunhammer, local organizer, to discuss the attack on Pe’sla, a sacred site for many tribes in the Black Hills region. Local company Pete Lien & Sons (PLS) will be doing exploratory drilling, looking for graphite. This drilling will destroy sacred land and risk contaminating the water that many in the region depend on.CALLS TO ACTION: ☎️Call the Forest Service at (605) 343-1567 to demand they rescind the permit for Pe’sla drilling and the decision to grant a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for their exploratory drilling permit. They have no right to violate our rights, declare Indigenous culture an acceptable loss, cut us out of the process, or endanger the drinking water of thousands of people and Ellsworth Air force Base. Call the US Forest Service and tell them to leave Pe’sla alone!! 📱Text “SAVEPESLA” to 50302 ✍🏽Sign our petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/add-your-name-protect-sacred-site-pesla SUPPORT OUR WORK:Help us continue this vital truth-telling media work, donate to NDN Collective's For the People.💌 Campaign: https://ndnforthepeople.org FOLLOW THE PODCAST:https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeopleSUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES: ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad  EPISODE CREDITS: Featuring: Taylor GunhammerHost: Nick TilsenProducer: Willi White Studio Technician: Jerome Richard LeBeau Jr.Music: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi WhiteDigital Engagement: Angie SolloaPRESS & MEDIA:press@ndncollective.org FOLLOW NDN COLLECTIVE:https://ndncollective.org https://www.instagram.com/ndncollectivehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ndncollective/https://www.facebook.com/ndncol https://www.threads.net/@ndncollectivehttps://bsky.app/profile/ndncollective.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ndncollective https://x.com/ndncollective
