President Lincoln, in an effort to heal a nation torn apart by internal strife, declared a day of thanksgiving to thank each citizen’s higher power for carrying individuals and the nation through trying times. It is as powerful a statement now as it was when it was made in October of 1864.

Some teachers still have not broken the habit of teaching Native American studies only at Thanksgiving time. To help the teachers teaching Native Culture and the students studying Native Culture, the mentor crew has created the following podcast. It’s intent is to demonstrate that culture is not about what a group wears or what color of skin they have. It is about point-of-view.
