Thank you, Karl snd Sean, for this amazing series. As a non-indigenous American I feel everyone should listen to your show, and indigenous perspectives generally. Yours and Iroquois History and Legends are two of my favorite podcasts, and I look forward to following and promoting your show as you continue to give what to me are your invaluable points of view, and build bridges for non-indigenous people to be able to help. Non-indigenous people have a major responsibility to build those bridges, but I think we often feel disconnected or don’t know where to begin. One thought, if modern non-indigenous people could have more exposure to the awesomeness of indigenous cultures, like practical knowledge, stories, music, dance, art and the ability to live as one with the environment, they would have much greater appreciation. That was something our settler ancestors could see and appreciate, in spite of whatever conflicts, as their survival often depended on indigenous people, or they had friendly relations with local indigenous groups. A lot of that history was covered over and that connection obscured, deliberately by settler governments, as policies were gradually enacted to displace and marginalize indigenous communities. I loved going to powwows as a kid, and your podcast makes me want to go again.
