In this episode Weeze and Nazshonnii talk about how we can take accountability and give land back to Indigenous folks. It’s more than just googling a tribe and sharing the Federally recognized name of a trie. This process involves us doing our own research on our lineage to understand how communities were colonized and tribes were lost, looking deeper into the land we occupy to see who those tribes are and what they need present day, it calls for us to speak up against problematic behavior, and more.
