Win or lose, two baseball teams got more high level national attention during the World Series than either has had in a long time. The Cleveland Indians hadn't been in a World Series in 19 years. Their appearance in baseball's biggest event brought new attention to another aspect of their organization: a name and logo that many people find offensive. Will the momentum of these monumental games dampen or help efforts to change the name? Where do stand on Chief Wahoo?

A recent law in California prohibits the sale of ivory which may have an effect on Alaska Native artists that use walrus ivory. The Marine Mammal Act of 1972 allows the interstate sale of walrus ivory crafts if they are made by Alaska Natives. But the law in California creates confusion about the legality of walrus ivory. We'll talk with artists and advocates about why the law needs clarification.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker set out to bust some of the most common myths about Native nations. Each chapter of "All the Real Indians Died Off" takes on different issues that have had negative effects on Native life and at times have posed to present Native Americans and Alaska Natives as invisible people in the collective conciseness. We sit with these two authors to hear more about their journey to create more understanding of Native peoples.

Native children have the highest obesity rates of any other group. There has been some progress in recent years. But a Journal of the American Medical Association study found in 2010 that obesity declined for all groups except Native American children.
