Current State #865 | November 1, 2016

Today on Current State: A pair of Native Americans at MSU discuss the Dakota Access Pipeline protest at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation; "Love Letters to Michigan" author Christine Lasek; Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor fills us in on efforts to clean up the city's groundwater; and an upcoming Broad Art Museum exhibit imagines the Ireland of 2116.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
