11/10/20 • 54 min

Pocahontas is one of the most famous Native American women in history, she’s used in history books as the definition of a “civilized savage” but this is complete whitewashing, she was just a little girl who was stolen from her people. Join me Julia and Lindsey in discussing her life.
