Native America, theater, and calling in

On November 27, 2020, I spent some virtual time with my friend Christiana Molldrem Harkulich. The day after Thanksgiving in the United States and Native American Heritage Day seemed like as good a time as any to learn about Native America, and Christiana knows more than the average white bear about it.

Here are some things we talked about:
