Episode 2: The Right to Migrate with Chief Brenda Dardar Robichaux

In this episode Mary talks to Chief Brenda Dardar Robichaux, who was the principal chief of the Houma Nation in 2005 during both Katrina and Rita. We explore that experience and how it affected the Houma people, especially those who were displaced. We also talk about what subsequent storms and sea level rise have meant for the Houma Nation since then and what their future might look like.
