Farina King: Heritage and the Intermountain Indian School

In this episode, we talk with Indigenous American guests about the people they gather with, as well as the places they gather at. We spoke with Farina King about the trauma of displacement which indigenous children faced during the era of America's residential schools, which she writes about in Returning Home: Dine Creative Works from the Intermountain Indian School. Nathan Hadfield came on to talk about his involvement with Chaco Canyon and Pueblo Bonito, an ancient gathering site of the ancestral Puebloan peoples. Several guests are featured in our special segment on the Gathering of Nations, a pow-wow located in Albuquerque New Mexico. Lastly, we discussed the Art Heals project with Eugene Tapahe, a photographer who was inspired to take traditional healing to the world during the Covid-19 pandemic.
