Customer Reviews
Erasure of Indigenous People and Our Story and Natives
The name of the podcast is extremely problematic, and am unsure of why they and the marketers of this podcast couldn’t come up with something that once again steals from Native People of the Americas. Native Land is a political call for not only recognition of our sovereignty, but in our fight for land back. To not acknowledge the challenge with the podcast being named Native Land, is erasure of Native Peoples existence.
