Treaties, Water, Power and Politics in the West

Elaine Willman and Larry Kogan are Dan's guests this week to talk about: the U.N. Indigenous People's Treaty, the destruction of hydro electric power generation, removal of dams and irrigation in agricultural use, western water policy, and the stealth Islamic takeover of Indian Reservation lands. Subjects most Americans don't even realize exist will be brought to light in our discussion.
