Merciless Indian Savages: The Declaration and Our Struggle

Welcome to the 7th Generation Podcast, hosted by Dr. B. In this episode, we dive into an Indigenous perspective on Independence Day, challenging the traditional narratives and uncovering the harsh realities faced by Native peoples throughout history and today. From the language in the Declaration of Independence that dehumanized Indigenous peoples to the ongoing issues of cultural suppression, genocide, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis, we explore the impact of settler colonialism and the resilience of Indigenous communities. Join us as we discuss the fight against the systems that continue to oppress and erase our cultures, and learn about the strength and resistance that define our history and our future.
