Sovereign Stories
Stagione 1
di Faith
What did "America" look like pre-colonization? And how did the early colonization impact peoples there? Here we talk about Pre-Columbus history until 1787 and what events drastically impacted Native American tribes as well as others.
Here we discuss what it means to be Native American and touch on the reality that tribes are legally considered sovereign nations. We talk about Othering, colonization, and issues of race which complicate the Native American identity. We also talk a little about how so many Americans claim to be Native - whether or not they can prove it.
Welcome to Sovereign Stories! Listen in as we discuss why we created this channel and why American Indian Studies is such an important topic. Then join us next week for a look at tribal nations today.
