Summary
SHOW NOTES: This episode is an opportunity to challenge one of the most persistent misconceptions about Native communities: reducing us to poverty. Listen now as this episode acknowledges real economic hardships without allowing those hardships to define Native identity. Hear how Indigenous People celebrate the joy, laughter, creativity, and hope that have sustained Native people across generations. May you correct misconceptions as I seek to paint a fuller picture of Native life and faith. LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Sign up for monthly newsletter.
