Connections: Understanding the truth about American and Native American history

Listen to the TALK program at wxxinews.org that featured guest speakers, Peter Jemison & Gabriele Papa!

Topics addressed during the May 17th program:

• We talk about this history, what is misunderstood or whitewashed, and how to better teach these lessons.
• We talk with the artists about their craft and about a renaissance of Indigenous art. We also address recent anti-racism movements and if Indigenous communities feel included.
• The City of Rochester is getting ready to celebrate its inaugural Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 8. The holiday will coincide with Columbus Day, which has long been controversial. To name a few.
