Grateful for this

So grateful for this story to reach out. It is time. I’m a Bradby from my mom’s family and have always been told many stories of how all of our people truly endured and survived. I hope the truth continues to be illuminated.

Care of Common Memory

In the opportunity to listen to details from the Mattaponi oral history, I felt myself sitting with a fuller, more vibrant care of moments and context which have been absent from the colonizing narrative. The quaikros were protecting a perspective in constant threat of non-native audiences who, in my non-native opinion, would have not known how to handle such an accounting of relationship in stark contrast to Doctrines and world view in Spanish and English business ventures.... very humbling to know how much care the Powhatan Chiefdom carried forth in sharing the value of remembering. With gratitude and respect....may we hear the humanity, the fight, and the healing 400 years from today....

True history is crucial for all, no matter who takes offense!

I loved all of the factual details, I now realize how whitewashed my education and general knowledge is. The Flow kept me interested and was easy to follow. I really appreciated how the ending came together to give insight on what became of each. Please continue to put out more real factual indigenous history. Thank you so much.
