  3. MASTER CLASS REPLAY: Locating Tribal Ancestry!

    MASTER CLASS REPLAY: Locating Tribal Ancestry!

    Presented by: Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation FoundationIn partnership with The African American Folklorist This in-depth session brings together leaders grounded in Indigenous identity, tribal sovereignty, and reclamation work to guide participants through the process of connecting and reconnecting families to tribal ancestry. 💬 One powerful takeaway?Blood quantum doesn’t equal identity. In this conversation, we unpack how someone can be recorded as having no blood quantum in the Cherokee Nation — not because they aren’t Indigenous, but because they’re from a different tribal nation (like Muscogee Creek). It’s a detail that seems small but carries deep implications for how ancestry is recorded, denied, or erased. This master class covers: Navigating Freedmen and tribal records Understanding rejection letters as historical archives Misclassification in blood quantum and tribal rolls Using the Guion-Miller and Dawes Rolls to uncover family stories How Black and Indigenous communities intersect in these histories 📺 Now streaming for paid members.Support the work.

  4. Blues Music is Black History: The Hard Conversation at Hopson Plantation

    Blues Music is Black History: The Hard Conversation at Hopson Plantation

    What does it mean to speak the truth of the Blues on the very soil where our ancestors were enslaved? In this live broadcast, Lamont Jack Pearley—traditional Bluesman, folklorist, and founder of the Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation—reflects on being invited to present his original scholarship on Blues Ecology at Hopson Plantation, once home to Blues legend Pinetop Perkins. As we close out Black Music History Month, this episode holds space for a necessary conversation about land, memory, and music. We'll explore how different landscapes—Mississippi’s cotton fields and Louisiana’s red-light districts—shaped different kinds of Blues, and why where we honor the Blues matters just as much as how we do it. Through personal reflection, fieldwork excerpts, and live performance, we ask:Can you celebrate the Blues without honoring the history that created it? Join us tonight for truth-telling, music, and memory from the Delta to the mic.

Through rigorous fieldwork and visual storytelling, she brings to light the narratives often overlooked in mainstream academia and institutional folklore.In this episode, we’ll explore how Dr. Oliver uses film, photography, and the spoken word to document the intersections of storytelling, traditional healing, and environmental sustainability. We’ll discuss her contributions to the American Folklore Society, the Society for Ethnomusicology, and her role as a Zora Neale Hurston Award winner and Wenner-Gren Public Scholar Fellow.
