from Forward Radio podcasts · host Forward Radio
Do you schedule a "pow wow" before you need to "hold down the fort" and make a plan to 'circle the wagons"? This show recognizes we are in Native American Heritage Month and focuses on problematic use of words and terms that in many cases have their origins in Native American traditions, tropes, or stereotypes. These terms--divorced from their origins-- have been normalized for many of us, but as our discussion in this week's show reveals, these words and terms are far from neutral and we have an opportunity to learn about them and decolonize our vocabulary.
