In this episode we are joined by JP Johnson (Cherokee) and Dustin Mater (Chickasaw) as we discuss the history of Southeastern traditional tattoos and how it intersects with broader Native American history. We'd like to dedicate this episode to Choctaw scholar Michelene E. Peasantubbee who's foundational work looking at the intersections of Choctaw women's roles and Christianity has had a profound influence on this project as well. This episode will contain conversations around genocide and settler colonialism. As a result we want to give a content warning for discussions of Christianity, boarding schools, violence, and sexual violence. This episode contains some cursing.
Additionally, we would like say yakoke lawa hoke (many thanks!) to all the folks who supported our bonfire campaign! We really love seeing you all in the Inchuwa merch! Feel free to send us feed back in the form of reviews on Apple Podcasts, comments on our Facebook and Instagram, or even messages in our DMs. We'd also love to see photos of you wearing Inchunwa merch!
As a reminder, on both our Instagram and Facebook, we've provided a link to our link tree which has additional supplemental material to explore more of the things we discuss in this episodes and others. Included in the link tree is a link to our recommended resources for all the folks who wish to learn more.
Thank you once again everyone for supporting us and chi anumpa la chike! (Talk to you later!)
