Rock The Rez brings empowerment and glam to Indigenous kids

Season 2025 Episode 236 | 6m 05s

A summer camp program in South Dakota and Minnesota aims to bring all that and more to Indigenous girls and gender-diverse kids — with a little rock star treatment thrown in. Special correspondent Megan Thompson reports.
