30 MAR 2020 · The coronavirus, or COVID-19, has turned the Spring 2020 semester upside down for many students at Arizona State University. Nearly 55,000 on-campus ASU students have transitioned to the 14,000-plus online classes the week following spring break in mid-March. The global response to this pandemic has sparked the masses to social distance themselves and loved ones inside their homes, practice social distancing, and work remotely.
What are the stories from our #NativeSunDevils during this social change, and how are they doing? Social distancing in her two-bedroom apartment, Turning Points senior editor Taylor Notah (Diné) calls in with fellow social distancing Native Sun Devils Tyler Miller (Tohono O’odham) and Ceyshe Lee (Diné) who are facilitators of ASU’s student coalition Alliance of Indigenous Peoples. Tune in as they discuss not only the impacts that COVID-19 has had on the Spring 2020 semester and their own studies, but the numerous ways Native student leaders are showing resilience and leadership by uniting communities digitally and remotely.
Stay tuned as the Turning Points Podcast continuously covers stories of COVID-19 at ASU and Indian Country.

11 MAR 2020 · In today’s episode, we hear from Turning Points Magazine member KaLynn:
I was shown a FaceBook post by my mother who was also upset with an event, this event, about a 4th grader who obtained a reading book at his school, which contained foul words and strong descriptions of ladies. The teacher who posted the photo of the words which is in a poem, showed the cover of the book and the Biography of the Author. It was Rex Lee Jin, former Vice President of the Navajo Nation and his book, SAAD LÁ TAH HÓZHÓÓN a collection of Dine Poetry.
Understanding why my Elders were upset with why this book is inappropriate for children. The book is suited for a mature audience. I agree it shouldn’t be allowed in the reading list or library at the school, however, there is a deeper conversation that needs to be talked about, about the replies on Facebook:
Social Hierarchy: how we expect someone who is of high social status
Generational Differences
Creative Writing aspect of the poem
It’s more than just a child who shouldn’t read this book. It’s that Rex Lee Jin shouldn’t have written the book.

24 FEB 2020 · There are many reasons why film is considered a powerful art form and medium: it is a universal power of communication that educates people and brings ideas to life. For Diné filmmaker, activist, writer, artist and Native Sun Devil Lejend Yazzie, filmmaking allows her to reclaim her voice and also carves spaces for herself and others in this world.
Tune into this empowering episode as we hear from Lejend on how she is decolonizing the film space and how fellow Diné filmmaker Shandiin Tome’s short film “Mud (Hashtł'ishnii)” influenced her trajectory in her undergraduate studies. We also talk (and tear up) about Taika Waititi’s historic Oscar win at this year’s Academy Awards for his film “Jojo Rabbit” and what his win signifies for all Indigenous peoples.
