In this episode, Carissa and Makayla discuss two prominent sites of memory on the University of Wyoming campus. Makayla discusses the Chief Washakie statue and Carissa discusses the Kenney Sailors statue. Both spend time explaining their sites, the historical figures being represented, and why these sites are important. Questions are asked as speculations begin to emerge about the impact these two historical individuals and their statues have on the world.
