Listen to a short conversation between Myron Medcalf and moderator Ramona Kitto Stately.

 

Reflection and discussion

  1. How does settler colonialism attempt to erase the lives and histories of people whose lands were taken? And how does the saying “The US is a nation of immigrants” erase Indigenous peoples’ histories?
  2. In what ways have Indigenous peoples of the Americas used their knowledge systems to invent, create, sustain, compromise, overpower, and survive?
