Season 2 Episode 4: The Big We: Indigenous Peoples' Day Edition

In this special Indigenous People’s Day edition of the Big We, we talk to our friends Kevin Killer and Sarah Eagle Heart who recently returned from a trip to Ghana as part of a truth and healing project to commemorate the 400 year anniversary since 1619, the year the first ship with enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia.They share their perspectives on what their travels from Oglala to Oguaa taught them about history, memory, culture, and home. Learn how what they witnessed was an answer to the ancestors' prayers - 400 years later. PLUS: have your sweet potato pie and eat it too! Inspired by Indigenous People’s Day, Anasa reminds us that we can invent our own traditions based on our values. Start planning your own version of a “Family Fantasy Extravaganza” or the holiday Anasa invented to replace the colonizer holiday formerly known as “Thanksgiving."  As Anasa says...it is our sacred duty to CREATE! #YearofReturn #Ghana #1619 #400Years #Sankofa #IndigenousPeoplesDay #FamilyFantasyExtravaganza #Lakota #Oglala #Oguaa #Thankstaking #afrofuturism #indigenousfuturism  Find us @thebigwepodcast on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and [email protected] Visit http://thebigwepodcast.com for show notes and guest bios
