Episode notes
In Episode #46 of the Lewiston Tribune Podcast, Matt Baney and Eric Barker unpack Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s visit to the Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery.
Kennedy called the treatment of Native Americans “genocide,” not only in the past but in today’s industrial food system.
The pair also discuss his support for breaching the Snake River dams and the policy divide between his vision and the Trump administration’s approach to salmon recovery.
