This episode maps out the spiritual landscape of the Santa Fe Trail, exploring the fraught collision between Indigenous religious practices, Catholic missionization, and Anglo-American Protestantism in the Southwest. Forced assimilation and conversion efforts intensified the dispossession and dehumanization of Native peoples, as reflected in the federally sponsored reservation policy and the notorious system of Indian boarding schools.
