2.6. 1924: Indian Citizenship Act

While I 100% support Native peoples telling their own history, instead of yet another non-Native giving their European perspective on Indigenous people, here’s an interview featuring myself and others on topics of racism, stereotyping and the Eurocentricism behind the Indian Citizenship Act. What are the lessons applicable right now, as the genocide and erasure of Native peoples is on-going, to the detriment of all.
