On today's episode, Jessica talks with Maura Sullivan (PhD student in Linguistics at Tulane University; Irish-American, Chumash and Mexican heritage, and an enrolled member of the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation). Maura gives Jessica a crash course in many different language topics such as the difference between language work and linguistics, what is a minoritized language, and how you can revive a language in ways other than with fluent speakers (such as the Breath of Life program). She emphasizes the need for structural changes to support language work, but also some ways that we can all be better relatives and give back on an individual level. Maura also described varying creative methods to support language work, including how she incorporates her art, provides intra-community language materials, as well as making the Šmuwič language more visible where appropriate.

On today's episode, Jessica goes more in depth with Joseph Gazing Wolf (Executive Director, Heritage Lands Collective [formerly Living Heritage Research Council]; Lakota, Nubian, and Amazigh) from Episode 84 on the Boulder Ethnographic-Education Project. On this episode, Joseph talks about how his childhood in Egypt and on the Standing Rock reservation inspired his interest in land, heritage, traditional ways of life, and working with elders. He talks more about his work with his buffalo relatives and how that led him to academia. He discusses how the settler-colonial context of academia is harmful to Indigenous scholars and how people in academic settings can engage with Indigenous communities in a relationally respectful manner. Finally, we conclude by talking about the work Heritage Lands Collective is doing and where Joseph would like to take it in the future, including Indigenous youth internships and youth-elder camps.

On today's episode, Jessica chats with Eric Pinto (Assistant Director at the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian studies at Washington University in St. Louis; Descendant of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Pueblo of Zuni). The Buder Center is part of the Brown School of Social Work, Public Health, & Social Policy that offers the only social work program in the country with an American Indian/Alaska Native concentration. The two talk about Eric's transition from personal training to getting a Master's in Social Work and how the social work program led him to cultural projects, archaeology, and land/cultural resource protection efforts through the Buder Center. We also discuss the Buder Center's Indigenous community and Tribal Nation engagement efforts, including an ongoing trail marker tree initiative, as well as their student practicums, scholarships, and events. Additional topics that came up during our conversation include land acknowledgements, the Urban Relocation Program in the 1950s, enrollment, and blood quantum.

On today's episode, Jessica chats with Dr. Shayla Monroe (Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University) and Debora Heard (Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago). The three talk about Nubia and its people (both ancient and modern), why they have been overshadowed, and why they are important. We also talked about what got them interested in this topic, what they are studying now in Nubia, and how the war in Sudan has affected their work and their colleagues. Finally, we talk about where they would like to see the study of Nubia go, including their efforts to co-found the William Leo Hansberry Society.

On today's episode, Jessica chats with Jonathan Rodriguez (3rd year PhD student in the Applied Anthropology program at the University of South Florida) about Maroon heritage in Dominica. We talk about how he got interested in archaeology and this topic, as well as how his Army service and Anthropology training influenced his experience with each. We also talk about his upcoming Fulbright research in Dominica, where he will use geospatial methods, archaeology, and oral history to learn more about and amplify the voices of a community that purposefully left little evidence of themselves in the archaeological record. Finally we talk about the networks between Maroon communities and diversity of Maroon community experiences across the Caribbean, as well as Maroon efforts today to be recognized as Indigenous peoples.
