More On The Struggle of Indigenous Nations In The USA

"Heather and Joanne reflect on the recent Haaland v. Brackeen Supreme Court decision, which upholds the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act. They put the case into context with past struggles by indigenous communities to define their place in the American story, from Tenskwatawa’s 1800s quest for representation to the consequences of the 1887 Dawes Act to the 1960s origins of the American Indian Movement."

I have had the opportunity to visit several indigenous nations in my travel across the USA and have learned much about their struggles. Because of such, I have posted a few times on them (link) in the recent past. Click on the link below for another history of their plight:

Native American History: It Must Be Taught

"In a major victory for Native American rights, the Supreme Court has upheld key provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act, giving preference for adoption of Native American children to their tribes and families. The law was passed 45 years ago to protect tribal sovereignty and to correct past government abuses. In a new book, historian Ned Blackhawk recasts the story of America to include Native American history. The author joins Hari Sreenivasan to explain why Indigenous history is essential to understanding modern America."

Give It Back!

"Today, we take a look at the origins of the European colonial land-grab, the need for the #Landback movement,  and the benefits to society and the environment in the context of the climate crisis to return stewardship of the land to native peoples."

If you were like me growing up, you were only exposed to the colonist's point of view regarding the founding and expansion of America. This podcast presents "the rest of the story."
