Hawk, shares his recent journey of learning about the indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the land where he now lives in Marin County, California. He discusses the Coast Miwok tribe and his efforts to educate himself about their history and culture.
Hawk then moves into the dark history of Native American / Indigenous boarding schools, which were established by the governments of Canada and the United States, often in collaboration with the Catholic Church.
