And Oh, um, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, All right, hello and thank you for tuning in to the Native Reed's podcast. My name is Sarah Hernandez and I am your host for

today's episode. Just a little bit of background about me before we get

started. I am Sichangu Lakota. I am an assistant professor of Native American literature at the University of New Mexico.

And recently I worked with First Nations Development Institute and the Oak Lake Writers Society to launch Native

breeds, a national reading campaign that seeks to honor and celebrate the

stories of the O'Ceti Shock only. As part of this campaign, we identify 10 books that are critical and foundational to understanding

Ocherichakoeing culture, history, and literature.

And so over the past several months, we've interviewed all of the authors authors all of the living authors on this list or their

descendants to learn more about the rich and complex

nakota and makota literate traditions and so we only have one book left to discuss for the season of Native reads, which is Dr Nick

Estes' 2019 book, Our History is the Future, Standing Rock versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the long tradition of indigenous resistance.

So many of you already know Nick as the regular host of the Red Nation podcast.

Thank you for joining us today, Nick.

Thanks for having me, Sarah.

Oh, I'll just note that we have one podcast after this as well,

where I'm going to be interviewing you about the interviews.

Yes, but this is the last book interview, so.

And so I know it's probably unnecessary for your regular listeners,

but for those who are new to this series,

do you think you can please introduce yourself?
