Description

Join us as we discuss the food of the future (bugs), debunk an old wives' tale, and cover some of the experiences faced by Native American women as we continue to remember Women's History Month.
So, pop in your headphones and take a walk or listen to us on your drive home. We're talking about the widespread sterilization of Native American Women--often without their consent or knowledge, and a native Alaskan woman named Elizabeth Peratrovich who was instrumental in the very first civil rights bill.
