The scourge of slavery was an unfortunate reality for Indigenous people in the history of North America. Spanish colonizers set in motion a complicated legacy of slavery throughout the Americas that changed identity, culture and relationships forever. We’ll talk about the history and legacy of Indigenous slavery and get insights from speakers with the National Museum of the American Indian’s symposium, “The Other Slavery: Histories of Indian Bondage from New Spain to the Southwestern United States.” (This is an encore show so we won’t be taking listeners’ calls)
Guests:
Dr. Patricia Trujillo (Chicana) – associate professor at Northern New Mexico College and literary scholar of New Mexico history and culture
Dr. Erika Pérez – associate professor of history at the University of Arizona
Dr. Royleen J. Ross (Laguna Pueblo) – cultural psychologist
