In episode 19, I speak to Frankie Bauer, a citizen of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma. He is a Ph.D student at University of North Carolina. We discuss the term period of 1817-1824 where Cherokee and Osage nations created inter-tribal treaties with the U.S. mediating. The inter-tribal treaties did not hold up but provide an analysis of the role of US mediation as a mechanism of settler-colonialism as well as the potential for inter-tribal solidarity in the future.
