On this edition of Your Call, we continue our new series, The US at 250: A Native Perspective, by discussing the Tending Our Roots podcast.
Hosted by Dr. Miigis Gonzalez and Dr. Jill Fish, the podcast highlights the voices of artists, scholars, and community leaders working toward the collective health, healing and well being of Indigenous communities. The podcast aims to share and reconnect with the teachings that continue to sustain Indigenous communities across generations.
With July 4th coming up, we also discuss why we're not seeing more Native perspectives in the mainstream media.
Guests:
Dr. Miigis Gonzalez (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe), social behavioral health researcher with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Indigenous Health, and co-host of the Tending Our Roots podcast
Dr. Jill Fish (Tuscarora Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy), licensed psychologist, and co-host of the Tending Our Roots podcast
