Host Dr. J. Kehaulani Kauanui engages in a conversation with three of the founders of the Boston Coalition of Indigenous Students: Shanadeen Begay (Diné), Jonathan Ramones (Mi’kmaq), and Mose Herne (Akwesasne Mohawk). This new coalition seeks to: provide a means for academic, social, cultural, and spiritual exchange among its members; foster the expression of a unified voice aimed at raising awareness of the rights and struggles of Native/Indigenous nations and communities in the Americas; create a forum from which the voices of indigenous peoples can be heard by furthering scientific understanding and creating progressive public policy initiatives through collaborative efforts and educational programming across institutional barriers; and promote cross-cultural understanding by highlighting the indigenous cultures of North and South America and thus to recognize indigenous diversity and presence.
