Nikki Love (Pieratos): Keeping Relatives and Neighbors Safe in Uncertain Times

Thu Jan 22 2026

Listen

Today, we welcome Nikki Love Pieratos to Native Lights. An enrolled citizen of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, Nikki is the Executive Director of the Tiwahe Foundation, a community organization serving Native people around Minnesota. She’s also a part of the Metropolitan Urban Indian Directors group.  Leah speaks with her about the impact of Operation Metro Surge on Twin Cities Indigenous residents and their neighbors. One impact has been an increase of Native individuals being stopped by federal agents. But, says Nikki, this has also been a time of the wider community coming together and putting themselves on the line to look after and protect their neighbors.  Nikki shares how she stays grounded with a prayerful attitude and a focus on the present.  ----- Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo  Editor: Britt Aamodt  Editorial support: Emily Krumberger  Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood  ----- For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media.  instagram.com/ampersradio instagram.com/mnnativenews facebook.com/MNNativeNews Never miss a beat.
