As we go forward, it’s important we reflect back. In this episode, we’ll be revisiting the extended interview done with Choctaw scholar Dr. Michelle Johnson-Jennings. Her work on the Yappali Project  - along with Dr. Karina Walters and Sandy Stroud - has been a core inspiration and foundation for the Inchunwa Project. Given the shift in the national politics, the Southeastern ancestral markings revivalization movement moving forward on the ground level in our communities, and the launching of our research club, we wanted to take the time to ground ourselves in the words share with us by Dr. Michelle Johnson-Jennings.
