Native America Calling

Today, January 6 – Inside the ring: Native pro wrestling

Professional wrestling draws fans in with a mix of theatrics, colorful characters, and campy violence. Indigenous wrestlers comprise only a small faction of the wrestling world, but they are making names for themselves. In the process of entertaining their fans, they risk broken bones, concussions, cuts, and bruises in the ring. We’ll hear from Native wrestlers about their love of the pastime and how they’ve forged careers in the industry.
