Ocheti Shakoen - The Seven Council Fires

What's in a name? Misnaming is central to the subjugation of Native Nations and the distortion of history. Oglala scholar and founder of CAIRNS, Craig Howe, joins us to discuss the warped accounts of Lewis and Clark that he documents in the re-publication of This Stretch of the River: Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Responses to the Lewis and Clark Expedition and Bicentennial (2006). We then cover the origins of the Oceti Sakowin nations and the politics of American Indian education.
