In the latest episode, Chris and Yvette visit the Western Spirit Museum in Scottsdale for a conversation with museum CEO Todd Bankofier. Yvette recently joined the Board of the museum - billed as Scottsdale's Museum of the West - and has personal connections to the art and artists featured in its impressive building located in downtown Scottsdale.

Todd shared his story of going from ranching in Nevada, to DC politics, business, and for the last three years, CEO of the museum. The museum has an extensive collective of Native American art from Arizona and throughout the West and prides itself on inclusivity and telling an accurate story of all of the peoples who shaped western North America. It is also one of the first museums to earn affiliate status with the prestigious Smithsonian Institution.

If you're in the Phoenix area, make sure to stop by the museum - and tell them the Native Edge podcast sent you!
