In this episode, we delve into the rich and complex history of Native Americans. We explore the importance of nature in their culture, and how it shaped their beliefs and way of life. We also discuss the unique governance of the people, which allowed for a strong sense of community and cooperation. However, with the arrival of the white man, Native American society underwent significant changes that would have lasting effects. We discuss the impacts of colonization and forced assimilation, and the important figures who fought for their rights and cultural preservation. Finally, we explore how we can help preserve the history and culture of Native Americans, including supporting Indigenous-led initiatives and respecting their sovereignty. Join us as we honor and learn from the rich and diverse history of America's first peoples.
