Episode Description
Rebecca is joined by Brenda J. Child, a University of Minnesota professor, historian and author of several award-winning books about Native American history. They cover important elements of Native history that people should know about, like Native boarding schools, and Brenda’s latest endeavor – a new Center for Indigenous Arts at the University of Minnesota.
This podcast series is a part of the SMSC’s Understand Native Minnesota campaign that concluded in January 2024. This episode was filmed before the series concluded.
