Announcement: Honoring Indigenous histories during November
During the Thanksgiving holiday break, we can recognize Indigenous perspectives and history by sharing information and exploring possibilities for conversations. To help get this started, here are some podcasts featuring accounts from Wampanoag and Narragansett peoples, who were directly affected by the historical events memorialized in the observation of the holiday:
The Wampanoag & the Thanksgiving Myth (35:25): https://www.unsunghistorypodcast.com/wampanoag/
The World of the Wampanoag, Part 1: Before 1620 (46:52): https://benfranklinsworld.com/episode-290-the-world-of-the-wampanoag-part-1/
