About this episode
America sadly has a miserable track record for, well, a lot of things. Our treatment of the Indigenous people of the land that became this country has always been problematic and abhorrent. But despite these atrocities, many courageous and noble Indigenous leaders stood up to fight for themselves and their people, much as they continue to do today. Here are many notable moments and leaders from the first colony at Jamestown to today. Also, the history of a steakhouse!
