Starting the Conversation: Understanding the Indigenous Revolt

Before diving into The Indigenous Revolt: Carlisle, PA, and Beyond, it's important to set the stage for what you'll experience. This podcast is hosted by the Center for the Futures of Native Peoples at Dickinson College, located near the former grounds of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School (1879-1918). The series honors the 7,800 Native students who endured the school's forced assimilation efforts, highlighting their strength and resilience.

In this prelude, you'll hear essential context about the podcast’s purpose, the importance of acknowledging the land we're on, and the stories we aim to amplify. We embrace storytelling as a method of healing and resistance, and this prelude will introduce you to the foundational elements of the podcast—setting the tone for the episodes to come. This podcast is more than just a series; it's a movement to preserve, honor, and amplify Indigenous stories and identities.
