Crazy Horse, Oglala Lakota warrior; the 1969 Native Occupation of Alcatraz Island
Manage episode 348101146 series 3325432
Welcome to episode 49! To round out Native American Heritage Month, we have two more stories on Indigenous history! KT kicks things off with a historical figure that tied into episode 48–Crazy Horse, the Oglala Sioux warrior and leader. Did you know he was born with beautiful curls?! Next up, Laurel fast forwards to 1969 and the 19 month Native occupation of Alcatraz Island as a watershed moment for Indigenous people in North America (also includes a short story on first female chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller!)
