About this listen

LANDBACK For The People meets Indigenous frontline organizers, changemakers, and allies at the “kitchen table” to dig into what LANDBACK really means for the people. From movement OGs like Madonna Thunder Hawk and Leonard Peltier to accomplices like Macklemore, host Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota) takes us on an unapologetic journey through movement history, political analysis, and grassroots solutions to imagine our best days ahead of us. This show is for the land, the people, and our collective liberation.

    NDN Launches the Landback Action Network!


    The LANDBACK Movement has been growing, expanding and creating impact throughout the Indigenous world. Now it’s time to further connect this growing movement through the building of a network made up of Indigenous peoples, communities, and Nations to build, collaborate, learn, and get the Landback.


    In this episode Nick brings Nicole, Cy, and Eva–three long-time organizers–to the table to discuss what brought them to this work and this movement, and the launch of the Landback Action Network.


    Alongside the announcement of the network itself, LAN is also launching landback.org, a public storytelling platform where members can access the membership and contribute to the site.

  • Art, Swagger, and Creativity in the Movement
    Mar 23 2026

    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.”

  • Protect Pe’sla
    Mar 11 2026

    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
