NO REST FOR THE AWAKE - MINAGAHET CHAMORRO

Me, Angie (taotao Natibu Amerikanu) and Madel ( taotao Belau) are up to our old voicing indigeneity tricks.

I'm just kidding about the infamously unknown part, in actuality, we have a fairly loyal listener-ship.

We submitted a panel proposal based on our different projects and podcast discussions for the Indigenous Studies Conference to take place next May at University of Oklahoma. Check out the description and the steering committee, it looks to be a truly exciting/inspiring event. Alii, el mor kemiu el rokui, Hafa ad
