This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.
Seth Tupper was in the crowd at Rep. Dusty Johnson's Level Up Youth Conference. He brings us a summary of the representative's speech and an analysis of his efforts to overcome the politics of fear and anger.
Plus, Tupper reviews a new book that reexamines the so-called free land offered to Dakota Territory homesteaders.
In “The Cost of Free Land: Jews, Lakota, and an American Inheritance,” author and journalist Rebecca Clarren explores her own family's story and how to go beyond understanding history.
Tupper is the editor-in-chief of South Dakota Searchlight.
