On Saturday, March 20, 2021, at 10:00 (Arizona time) author Brenden W. Rensink will be the guest on the first episode of Yaqui Pride’s new Itom Jala’im (Our Friends) Podcast!

heck out this great Interview with author Brenden W. Rensink about Native but Foreign in the April 2020 issue of Wild West Magazine.

I was happy to chat with Arizona Public Media’s “The Buzz” program about Yaqui histories in Arizona and the complexities of historic and current transnational Indigenous issues. They also interviewed Chairman Valencia from the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona and Dwayne Pierce, a history instructor at the Tohono O’odham Community College.

I had the pleasure of chatting for an hour with Tom Williams on Utah Public Radio’s Access Utah show on April 4, 2019.

In a bit of unbelievable news, the Western Writers of America just chose Native but Foreign as the winner of the 2019 Spur Award for Best Historical Nonfiction Book.

On January 31, 2019, I published a short piece with Public Radio International’s The World and Global Nation entitled Ignored and deported, Cree ‘refugees’ echo the crises of today. The Chippewa Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation shared it on their Facebook Page and the following question was asked:

It's been an excited few months since my book came out over the summer. You can buy it here or follow the Facebook page here.

Thanks to everyone who talked with me about or purchased Native but Foreign at the 2018 Western History Association conference in San Antonio. It was a thrill to finally see it at the press booths! The Connecting the Greater West series is looking pretty great Texas A&M Press!
