Thocmetony (Sarah Winnemucca) Northern Paiute Educator and Author; The Heartwarming True Story of Winnie the Pooh
Welcome back!
We're one episode away from TEN! As usual, we've got a spot saved for you, however, this time KT insists that it will be her lap...
We start with Laurel's story about Thocmetony, later named Sarah Winnemucca, who was a Northern Paiute educator, author and advocate for her people. She lived a hard life walking between two worlds with critics on both sides. After leaving Western America in the 1800s, KT takes us north to Canada and then to England during World War I where we learn the heartwarming story of the real Winnie the bear, who inspired A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh series! The nostalgia FLOWS!
