"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race....From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles of racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population.”
This week, I wanted to spend our time together focusing on a very timely issue — a very real, very active threat facing the indigenous women of this country, of North America as a whole, really.
I’m going to be telling you about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic, touching on the horrifying Highway of Tears, and telling you a story that is, at its core, all too real — realer, certainly, than the whitewashed history that we’ve all come to accept as fact.
