In the second episode of the Old Way, we are joined by Dr. Melinda Micco of the Seminole (tribal member), Creek and Choctaw tribes. Dr. Micco is Associate Professor Emerita of Mills College. Her research has focused on multiracial identity in American Indian and African American communities, primarily in the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. Dr. Micco is the author of numerous articles and books, as well as a filmmaker and community activist.
