Episode 15
How Did Slavery Impact Cherokee Nation?
When you think of slavery, you most likely picture an African American on a white southern plantation, but the roots of slavery extended to Native American communities too.
In this episode we take a closer look at Cherokee freedpeople, why emancipation didn't necessarily mean freedom, and the complicated relationship with the federal government as we answer... how did slavery impact Cherokee Nation?
Joining the podcast is Dr. Andi Bawden. Her PhD considered Cherokee freedpeople and was interested in questions of race, identity, citizenship and sovereignty in the 19th and 20th centuries.
