About this Podcast:
Challenging Colonialism amplifies Indigenous perspectives on issues of concern to native Californian communities. It is our intention to create an educational resource where anyone can hear the perspectives of Indigenous peoples in their own words. It is not our intention to further colonize the narrative, or to misrepresent stories that are not our own. The podcast is produced by Martin Rizzo-Martinez, a Professor & Historian, and Daniel Stonebloom, a public school administrator. Our music is by G. Gonzales, and the logo art ("Chumash Revolt") is by Professor John Jota Leaños.
