McKenzie Johnson v. Legacies of Anti-Indianism in Education
Jen and Justine are joined by McKenzie Johnson, Demetrius Johnson, and Kaylee Bahe to discuss an incident that gained national attention on Halloween of 2018.
On October 31, 2018, two Indigenous students were assaulted by their teacher, Mary Jane Eastin, at Cibola High School in Albuquerque, NM. In an AP literature course, one student had the end of their braid cut off and the other was called “a bloody Indian.” Mckenzie Johnson is the student who was called a “bloody Indian."
On January 8, 2020, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico filed a lawsuit in the Second Judicial District Court against Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and former Cibola High School Teacher Mary Jane Eastin for violating the New Mexico Human Rights Act. This case has now reached the Supreme Court of the State of New Mexico and the next hearing will be on April 29, 2024 at Central New Mexico Community College.
This episode opens with audio from the Albuquerque Public Schools District Equity and Inclusion Committee hearing on November 28, 2018, and closes with remarks from the Johnson family after the hearing.
Full press release and call to action to follow. Stay updated on The Red Nation website and social media accounts.

Customer Reviews
At the forefront of liberation
Thank you and deep gratitude to the hosts/creators for this podcast as one of the most inspiring and revolutionary ones out there. The hosts are committed to collective liberation and all of that intentionality is reflected in the guest choices, topics, format, and content. I have learned so much about Indigenous issues and politics, people, landback, etc. and the interconnection of all of our struggles. Thank you for what you do.
Thank You
I really appreciate your work in educating folks on current de-colonial activism and historical context particularly in the US and connections abroad. It just makes sense to support indigenous leaders for the revitalization of these lands. As a white settler, I’m humbled and hope to be part of the movement to abolish colonial and capitalist destruction.
Passionate
Hosts are the epitome of driven articulate erudite masters of the craft of public speaking and people centered politics. Not afraid of speaking their minds and upholding principles to the hilt. Solidarity!
