We sit down with Tsi-ya Ꮵꮿ, the writer behind Sundown Ohio, a radical archive that documents Ohio’s hidden histories of Black and Indigenous resistance, anti-fascism, and rural survival. We discuss the intersection of farming, land defense, and the fight against white supremacy in the Midwest, exploring how Afro-Indigenous communities continue to resist the forces of state violence, including the Trump administration’s attacks on agriculture.
