Hope, Prayer & Indigenous Laughter

Dallas welcomes two very special guests to the podcast — his mom, Hope Anne Two Hearts, and his sister, Georgina Drapeau — visiting from the Lower Sioux Indian Community in southwestern Minnesota. Spoiler alert: it becomes very clear where Dallas gets his comedic timing from.

In this deeply personal episode, Dallas shines the spotlight on his mom as she reflects on joining AIM, participating in the 1972 takeover of the Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Washington, D.C., raising her children on their treaty lands, and dedicating her life to bringing Native women together through ceremony, prayer, and cultural teachings to ensure ancestral ways continue for future generations.

It’s a conversation rooted in love, resistance, family, and community — with plenty of hearty Indigenous laughter along the way.
