On this episode, I speak with Award-winning poet, author and educator Shonda Buchanan, author of the memoir, Black Indian. We discuss the complex history and legacy of interactions between Native Americans and free and enslaved blacks in this country.

Black Indian, her memoir, begins the saga of these migration stories of Free People of Color communities exploring identity, ethnicity, landscape and loss.
