Words that have been used to describe the land—wild, untamed, savage—have also been used to describe the land’s original inhabitants. Hear the perspective of this accomplished decolonial scholar about the use of these stereotypes of Indigenous peoples.

She is a graduate of Madonna University in Michigan and holds a Master of Arts in U.S. history.
