In this first episode of Chapter 2, Matt interviews Nikki Cooley, member of the Navajo Nation; Co-Manager of the Tribal Climate Change Program at the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals.
 Nikki Cooley spent her childhood wandering the Southwest desert herding sheep, then took up guiding river trips and now leads efforts to help Native American tribes cope with, and help prevent, climate change.
 The draw of the river was so strong, there were times Nikki did her college homework on the water while learning how to be a guide. Hear about her journey and commitment to hard work that built and sustains her powerful connection to the river and place.
