Wining About Herstory

In honor of Indigenous American Heritage Day, the ladies are learning more about their own country's history that was DEF not taught in school! First, Kelley tells the story of Sarah Winnemucca, a Pieute woman who tried to act as a bridge between her people and the European settlers in the face of increasing violence against Indigenous peoples. Then, Emily discusses the history of Indian Boarding Schools and shares testimonials from survivors that show just how horrific and insidious the cultural genocide funded by the U.S. Government  truly was.
