Shownotes
When you think of US history, do Native Americans come to mind?
In this episode, we begin our journey into the history of indigenous people of North America, their complicated relationship with the US federal government, and their ongoing fight to protect the land they call home, as we answer the question... who are Native Americans?
Returning from the faculty today is Jacqueline Fear-Segal, Professor of American and Indigenous Histories at the University of East Anglia.
And our special guest is Stephanie Pratt, who was appointed as the first Cultural Ambassador for the Crow Creek Dakota Tribal Council, where she is an enrolled member. She is also a highly respected academic who has published extensively on the visual and museum representations made of Indigenous American peoples from early contact to the present day.
