Podcast Season 2 Episode 4: Interview with Lyla June Johnston

An interview with indigenous activist and political candidate Lyla June Johnston

By Katherine Lewin

Reported host Katherine Lewin sits down with Lyla June Johnston, an indigenous activist, scholar, writer and musician — and now a candidate in the June 2020 Democratic primary for the New Mexico State House of Representatives District 47 seat.

In this episode, SFR and Johnston discuss missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW), her childhood in Taos and former drug addiction, and why she's chosen to run for District 47, despite not being from the area originally.
