In Episode 83, we talk to Dr. Kim TallBear – a citizen of the Sissteon-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota – about Native identity and the importance of relationships in determining belonging. She also shares with us her insights about some of the more infamous cases of settlers making false or exaggerated claims to Native identity.
