In our very first episode, we introduce listeners to a community whose history is often overlooked — the Crimean Tatars, one of Ukraine’s officially recognized Indigenous peoples.

Who are they? Where do they come from? And what have they endured to preserve their identity?

From the founding of the Crimean Khanate to Stalin’s mass deportation in 1944, from the tragic self-immolation of Musa Mamut to the modern revival of Crimean Tatar language and culture — this episode traces a powerful story of survival, resistance, and return.

Learn how Crimean Tatars continue to fight for their homeland, not through violence, but through memory, language, and art.

🔸 A deep dive into history, exile, and resilience
🔸 An introduction to Ukraine’s Indigenous heritage
