LeAnder Goldtooth is one of the few people his age keeping the art of Navajo basket weaving alive. The 23-year-old has become a master of the craft, harvesting his own sumac, reviving ancient patterns, and sharing his knowledge with the next generation.

This week on the Regional Roundup, we hear about an animal sanctuary in Wyoming that cares for animals that used to spend their days in laboratories.

We find out what happens to patients when a rural health facility closes.

Then we meet a Navajo basket weaver who is keeping the tradition alive for the next generation.

We round out the show with a story about a recent community event in Colorado's Western Slope that educated young community members about the reality of drought and water conservation.

Hear the RMCR Regional Roundup on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 on KSUT.
