Then, Source New Mexico Editor Shaun Griswold speaks with state Indian Affairs Secretary Josett Monette about the cap removal at Farmington High that sparked local and national outrage. Monette shares her reaction to the viral video, the sacred significance of the student's hat and what the state's Indian Affairs Department can do to help prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

And The Paper.'s Andy Lyman speaks with Albuquerque icon Don Schrader about his life, why he forgives the person who struck him in a hit-and-run last summer, and his hopes for the future of his city.
