I'm talking to researcher and Cherokee Nation citizen Bobby Chew Bigby about her work, studying the tribal led eagle aviary tours in Oklahoma Indian countries.
Guest: Bobbie is a storyteller, writer, scholar, educator, polyglot and enthusiast of the diversity of human cultures, languages and traditional relationships with the living environment. Born and raised in Oklahoma and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Bobbie is a daughter of Cantonese, Cherokee and Euro-American heritages. Her studies, work, friendships and research have taken her to different parts of Asia, Latin America, Indigenous Australia and US Indian Country.

She focuses on tourism’s potential for connecting people with traditional culture, Country (lands+waters+all living beings) and community. Bobbie has recently submitted her PhD for examination at the University of Notre Dame Australia, with research focused on comparative models of Indigenous-led tourism and cultural resurgence across Australia and the United States.
