“Written out of the story of America” – these creatives are writing the Indigenous perspective back in

Did you know the Declaration of Independence contains a racial slur? When Rebecca Nagle learned that “merciless Indian savages” were a main grievance of America’s founders it changed her perspective on history. The Cherokee journalist tells Rosanna how her search for an Indigenous telling of America’s history created the backbone of a new podcast, First America. And, filmmaker Brad Munoa – a member of the Pachanga band – zooms into what we currently call California to tell a more complete story of that territory in his 10-part docuseries, People of the West. As America prepares to celebrate 250 years as a nation, we hear from Indigenous scholars and creators on the true story of America told through an Indigenous lens.
