The holiday season typically involves giving of gifts both big and small, and this week Sonya and Devin discuss the history and culture of gift-giving across cultures. What did giving and receiving gifts mean in Indigenous societies in America? What did people give as gifts in the Middle Ages? And why did the king of England receive an elephant as a present? All this and more as we discuss gifts and giving!
