The series features a panel of Indigenous leaders, artists, and allies who speak about their work in the public realm, and address how symbols perpetuating colonial myths affect the lives of Indigenous people in the city and contribute to the public health emergency of racism.

In the last episode, the discussion focused on Massachusett and Nipmuc tribal people. We will hear from artist Jenny Oliver, and youth worker Kristen Wyman as they discuss the idea of collectivism vs memorialising one male figure and the misunderstood role of Native women in Indigenous culture.

Discussion facilitated by Erin Genia, Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota and Boston Artist-in-Residence.
