About this listen
In this episode of The Indigenous Revolt, Dr. Ka'ow'dthu'ee shares a personal journey from Carlisle to Gila River, witnessing President Joe Biden deliver a historic apology for the federal Indian boarding school policy. The episode begins on October 24, 2024, traveling from Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Arizona, tracing the movement from the site of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School to the homelands of the Gila River Indian Community.
The journey includes reflections from the reception hosted by former Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland at the Huhugam Heritage Center on October 24, followed by the presidential apology on October 25, 2024.
Dr. Ka'ow'dthu'ee offers an on-the-groundperspective of what it felt like to be present—to listen, to witness, and to carry generations of survival and resistance into this historic moment. This is not just about an apology—it’s about remembrance, healing, and honoring thosewho came before us.
