My History
My history as a Virginia Indigenous person has been locked away by trauma, Jim Crow, and white supremacy. Thank you for unlocking it! 💗
Needed
This important podcast is well written with information you will not find in the mainstream educational pieces referring to Indigenous Communities in what is now called Virginia. The production is stellar and submersible. A must listen for all bc you really have no idea, unless experienced, what has been stolen, the destruction caused & what is left.
Immersive Interesting Listen
Loved it. Important engaging history told by the people most impacted.
