Episode 3: Early Encounters — Indigenous Peoples and European Colonizers
Before 1619. Before slavery reached American soil. There were Native nations—sovereign, spiritual, and thriving.

In this episode, we trace the earliest encounters between Indigenous peoples and European settlers. From the generosity of the Taino to the betrayal of Metacom, we explore what happened when strangers arrived with crosses, contracts, and conquest.

We’ll break down the Doctrine of Discovery, dissect the trap of colonial treaties, and spotlight the resistance movements that history tried to forget.

✨ This is not a story of discovery. It’s a story of survival.
 🎧 If you're ready to confront the truth and honor the voices erased from textbooks, press play.
