The Right to Know with Professor Rebecca Wingo

Back in late 2024 we recorded this episode with our dear friend and ally- professor Rebecca Wingo at the University of Cincinnati. Her decades of work include building and nurturing relationships with Tribal Nations and elevating the voices of contemporary Native Peoples.  This past weekend, Professor Wingo, representatives from the UNC,  and our Wyandot relatives convened for the unveiling of  the first of a new series of historical markers which will tell the story of the last Indigenous nation removed from Ohio. So we thought, no better time like the present to share with you this episode, featuring Professor Rebecca Wingo.   https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/93550d92bf12422b9858b71c19339214 [https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/93550d92bf12422b9858b71c19339214]   https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2024/12/uc-history-students-map-out-wyandot-removal-trail.html [https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2024/12/uc-history-students-map-out-wyandot-removal-trail.html]   Special thanks to Devin Dabney for music and production.
