Why Our Indigenous Community Wants to Rename Cumberland Park

from City Cast Nashville · host City Cast

Host Marie Cecile Anderson sits down with Albert Bender, a local Cherokee activist, historian, attorney, and political columnist. With Metro Parks slated to hand down a decision on the renaming of Cumberland Park to Wasioto Park by Dec. 3, Albert explains why the change is important to our indigenous neighbors. He also educates us on the rich history of Nashville’s past as an ancient Native metropolis, shares his feelings on Thanksgiving, and suggests how non-Native people might thoughtfully reflect as we gather around our tables next week.
